I don't think it was all of them, just specific brands that contained a certain drug ( I cant remember which ones). Others are still availabe in some places. I know where I live you can no longer buy the cold remedies that are for children under 4. You can still purchase basic infant tylenol but not the ones that had any other drugs in them . The problem was there were an increasing number of children being dosed improperly and suffering serious problems and even death because of it. Since a cold is a virus and therefore the medication doesn't cure it, just improves the symptoms, they felt it wasnt worth the risk.
