Over 30 children's medicines recalled due to 'microbial contamination'

King Bio says products were produced between Aug. 2017 and April 2018

Pharmaceutical company King Bio is recalling 32 of its children's medications because of "microbial contamination," according the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA said that contamination could prove "life-threatening" to some people.

King Bio said that a "small percentage" of products which were produced between Aug. 1, 2017 and April 2018 tested positive for the contamination. The company said it is recalling all products with certain lot numbers out of an "abundance of caution." No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date.
