In April, McNeil Consumer Healthcare issued a voluntary recall of a several children's over-the-counter products, including Children's Tylenol, Children's Motrin and Children's Benadryl.

Silly Bandz Banned. 2010's hottest kid's accessory -- multicolored, shaped rubber bands called Silly Bandz -- made their way onto the arms of millions of kids this year and they were the hot topic on school playgrounds.
