32 Children's Medications Recalled

A company that makes homeopathic children’s medicines has recalled about one year’s worth of 32 types made to treat everything from chicken pox to coughs.

King Bio has issued a voluntary recall of 32 children's medications used to treat a variety of ailments including cough, fever and flu relief due to potential microbial contamination.

The recall includes medications produced between Aug. 1, 2017 and April, according to the federal Food and Drug Administration. The company reported that a "small percentage" of products from that time period tested positive for the contamination.

According to the recall: Administration or use of drug products with microbial contamination, could potentially result in increased infections that may require medical intervention, and could result in infections that could be life threatening to certain individuals. King Bio has not received reports of injury or illness to date.

The list of medicines includes 13 under the brand name SafeCare RX, which is only used by medical professionals.
King Bio says anyone who has the recalled product should discontinue use and distribution and contact King Bio at recall@kingbio.net to return the product. Customers with questions can call 866-298-2740.
