Major recall for epinephrine injectors
One brand of epinephrine injectors, Auvi-Q, has issued a voluntary recall of ALL injectors because there have been reports that the injectors have not been injecting the right dose of medication. These can be life-saving for kids with severe allergic reactions. If your kid uses these, it is recommended you call your doctor ASAP for a prescription for an alternate brand of epinephrine (such as the EpiPen). If your child has food allergies, DEFINITELY be sure to do this before Halloween in case they are exposed accidentally through candy.

Turns out several of my friends use Auvi-Q so thanks for posting! They were in a panic Friday to change their prescriptions before trick-or-treating.
