Drug manufacturer Teva Canada Ltd. is recalling one lot of a children’s pain and fever relief medicine because it contains too much acetaminophen and poses a risk of overdose.

A recall notice published by Health Canada says routine product testing found a higher than acceptable amount of acetaminophen in the affected lot of Pediatrix Acetaminophen Oral Solution.
