HD radio on the horizon but not a replacement

Intern inside scoop from behind scenes
This semester I took an internship at The 10! Show on NBC10. To clarify a couple points; if you've never heard of it, it's like a local Regis and Kelly.

Infant medication recall brings safety to children
Infant cold medicine is being voluntarily recalled because of "rising safety concerns and fear of misuse." I'm sorry - what?
Some manufacturers recalling their infant medication are Tylenol, Pediacare and Johnson & Johnson.
When I first heard about this recall my initial reaction was, what will parents do for their kids? How will babies stay healthy?
However, as soon as I started researching the topic, my reaction quickly changed to, why is this just happening now? And why is it voluntary?
Infant medication is not a new thing.
