Children's medicine, yogurt and more recalled in Canada this week

Children's medication, pyjamas and other products were recalled across Canada this week. Here's a recap.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued recalls for several products this week, including children's medicine with a risk of overdose, and food items that could be contaminated by salmonella.
An oral fever medication for children is being recalled by the CFIA due to the products having a "higher than acceptable amount" of acetaminophen.
Pediatrix Acetaminophen Oral Solution, made by Teva Canada Ltd., is being taken off shelves due to a "risk of overdose."
Guardians should call the poison control centre and emergency services "immediately" if children have nausea, vomiting, lethargy, sweating, loss of appetite and pain in the abdomen, the CFIA said.
"Abdominal pain may be the first sign of liver damage and may not be apparent for 24 to 48 hours," the agency said.
The CFIA issued the recall after routine testing found 185 milligrams of acetaminophen in the products, rather than the approved 160 mg.
The labels on the recalled products sold on Well.ca, among other places, are for 160-mg bottles.
