This recall is happening because pharmacutical companies are preying on the emotions of parents. If you have an infant that is sick and cant get any relief and there is a medication on a shelf that says it can alleviate those symptoms and it says that its safe to use, and pediatricians dont have anything bad to say, you'll buy it.
