Looking for the short version of the recall of infant cold medicines? Here's the link to the announcement and the list of what was actually recalled:

My understanding is that the infant meds themselves aren't dangerous if properly used, but that there is a danger that parents/caregivers will accidentally give too much.
My cupboards have a lot of these drugs in them -- Tylenol Cold and Dimetapp in particular. They were recommended by our pediatrician. It is hard to know when a decongestant is actually working, though. I am a big fan of plain old Benadryl, Tylenol and Motrin (really, their cheap generic versions).
