Heads up, parents: Children’s Advil Suspension Bubble Gum flavor has been voluntarily recalled due to overdose concerns.
Pfizer Consumer Healthcare announced the nationwide recall on Monday. The recall of the medicine — which is used to treat minor aches and pains from colds, headaches and beyond — was sparked because customers complained the dosage cup was marked in teaspoons and the instructions on the label were measured in milliliters.
