Overdose Fears Spark Recall Of Children’s Cough Syrup

Parents are being urged to check their medicine cabinets as two batches of generic children’s cough syrup are removed from pharmacy shelves across the country. They have been recalled due to overdose risk.

The voluntary recall was initiated after it was discovered the dosage cups included in the box had incorrect markings, leading to fears that children may be given too much medication, according to a statement from the manufacturer.
