Drug makers have voluntarily pulled kid's cold medicines off the market, following government

warnings about their safety for infants.

Products aimed at children under the age of two are being removed from store shelves due to "rare instances of mis-use."

Last month the F- D-A recommended adding the words "do not use in children under two" to packaging.

The current labeling suggests that parents consult a physician.
