King Bio, a homeopathic drug company, is recalling 32 of its children’s pain-relievers. According to the FDA, a “small percentage” of those products tested positive for bacterial contamination during regular, random testing by King Bio.

On Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a statement that the homeopathic drug company King Bio is recalling 32 of its children’s pain-relievers.
