The US Food and Drug Administration is still investigating more than forty over the counter infant and children's liquid medicines after a massive recall was issued late friday in the U-S and 11 other countries because the medications failed to meet quality standards.

The products include children's versions of Tylenol, Tylenol plus, Motrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl. According to the FDA, some of the products may have a higher concentration of active ingredients than is specified on the bottle. Others may contain particles or inactive ingredients that do not meet internal testing requirements.

This is a voluntary recall and so far, there have not been any adverse drug reactions reported.
Healthcare providers are being instructed not to give these medications to their patients.

If you have these medications you should stop using them right away. Fortunately, there are many other brands of medications on the market that are available that you can use as an alternative and there are also generics. Parents should consider substituting their child's medications with generic versions.

For more information, the parent company, Mcneil has set up a phone number; 1-888-222-6036. An even better resource is the Mcneil website at www.mcneilproductrecall.com.

If you loved the table flip last season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, season two will leave you begging for more.

Teresa stopped by to talk about how real the drama is and the series premiere. The other girls, Caroline and Jacqueline, got stuck in traffic this morming

But when they arrived, they all gave us a preview of Season 2, and let's just say Danielle is still on the outs.

I will have more on the Housewives of New Jersey tomorrow. It's a special WPIX exclusive so stay tuned.

Tamsen Fadal kicks off a special month-long report "Working Women." Throughout May, she will be taking a closer look at businesses founded by women.

When it comes to launching a successful business, there are few steps to keep in mind. Female entrepreneur Angela Jia Kim, founder of Savor the Success, calls them "The Four P's:" Passion, Posse, Presentation, Paycheck

Director Taylor Steele and surfer Dan Malloy stopped by to tell us about their new movie Castles In the Sky -- a visual whirlwind that follows surfers to the farthest reaches of the known surf world and beyond.

Castles in the Sky is a completely new approach to surf filmmaking. Filmed in five countries over three years, the movie delves into the true heart of the locations while the surfers travel through them with a sense of open-minded awe. With never-before seen waves, an original score, and some of the best surfers in the world such as Jordy Smith, Dane Reynolds, Rob Machado and Dave Rastovich contributing their art, passion and athleticism, this is as close to the experience of pioneering new coastlines as you can get without getting on a plane.

Castles in the Sky premieres today at Tribeca Cinemas.

Nancy Notaro of the Animal Care & Control of New York City stopped by to show off some four-legged friends who need a home.

The season 2 premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey had the girls holding nothing back. I sat down with Caroline, Teresa and Jacqueline to get the scoop on Danielle and why she is not doing any press with the rest of the Housewives.

Danielle maybe turing to God for forgiveness in the first episode but these girls are not listening. Why you ask? Let's just say this family doesn't forget so quickly.

The Housewives also dished the dirt on babies, a trip to Italy and why Caroline's kids will test her this season.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Mondays at 10pm on Bravo.

Exercise is great for you. It challenges your body, especially your heart. If you have heart disease where the arteries of your heart are blocked or narrowed or if you have an underlying heart problem, exercise can induce a heart attack. That's why it's so important to get a medical clearance from your doctor to exercise before you hit the gym if you're at risk. Some risk factors for heart disease include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a history of smoking, a family history of heart disease, older age, obesity, inactivity and diabetes. If you have any of these things make sure your doctor checks you out before you start exercising.

Potassium is an essential element that's necessary for proper functioning of your nerves, muscles and especially your heart. Your body keeps it closely regulated in proper balance. You blood level of potassium shouldn't be higher than 6. If it's too high, it can cause problems with your heart and can be fatal. There are many different medical problems that can cause high potassium. Some common ones include kidney problems, diabetes, alcoholism, burns, and muscle breakdown. But potassium can also be falsely elevated if the blood cells from the sample are ruptured. There are many different treatments available to lower potassium but they depend on how high the level is. The treatments are administered by doctors. It's not something you can do on your own.

More bad news for Tylenol. The U-S Food and Drug Administration says night time pain relievers Tylenol PM and other widely used acetaminophen pain drugs that include the sleep aid diphenhydramine, don't actually help you fall asleep faster. Safety is not a concern. The agency says Tylenol PM and Excedrin PM which are both taken as sleep aids are still safe. It's just that the products don't help you sleep. Diphenhydramine is the generic name of the antihistamine Benadryl which has a known side effect of sleepiness. Johnson and Johnson, which makes Tylenol PM, recently submitted additional data to the FDA which indicates that the combination medications significantly improve pain and sleeplessness.

The Fashion Guy Lawrence Zarian was here with department store looks for less. The clothes we saw today are 20% to 60% off department store prices.

All clothes are available at TJ Maxx or Marshall's.

We're celebrating Cinco de Mayo with the Jack Grace Band, a Brooklyn-bred country/rock band featuring The Broken Mariachi Horns. Their new album Drinking Songs For Lovers has a Latin feel and is all about his adventures in drinking.

The fight to support our students from losing free student MetroCards has reached a new level.

Now students in New Jersey have joined the cause and the initiative at PIX 11 News, Project SOS - Support Our Students.

Dozens of 6th graders from the Benjamin Franklin School No. 13 in Elizabeth wrote in letters of support of the campaign stating why they stand behind it.

The letters began as a writing project from their language arts teacher, Ms. Evalina Despaigne. Principal Ms. Michelle Cunha said she is very proud of her students.

The possible elimination of the free student MetoCards was first announced in December as a way for the MTA to close a nearly $800 million dollar budget gap.

A possible warning for parents who use Pamper diapers with dry max.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has launched an investigation after some parents complained that the new diapers cause rashes and possibly chemical burns on their children.
Pampers recently updated their Swaddlers and Cruisers diapers with the thinner, more absorbent technology which it says went through extensive testing. Proctor and Gamble, the company that makes Pampers is working with the CPSC. It is standing by its product stating; 'there's no evidence that a single baby has experienced a serious skin safety issue as a result of dry max'.

Parents with comments about the product are asked to contact the CPSC at www.cpsc.gov or call the toll-free number 1-800-638-2772.

Sunday is a very special day, it's Mothers Day of course! But ironically it's also the 50th birthday of the birth control pill. The pill has been a symbol of many things; women's rights, generational change, and there was even some debate about whether it affected declining morals.

In the 1960s, many thought the pill was responsible for the sexual revolution. Today's birth control has come a long way since then. Hormones can be taken via a patch, a vaginal ring, even implanted under the skin.

Most birth control pills contain two types of hormones; estrogens and progestins, which stop a woman's egg from fully developing each month preventing pregnancy. Birth control pills do have side effects, especially among women who smoke. You should speak to your doctor about all risks associated with these medications.

You've probably heard that dark chocolate helps protect the heart. Now researchers say they've identified how a compound found in cocoa can guard against the damage of a stroke reducing it's size and severity. It's a flavanol called epi-catechin. It triggers two protective pathways that already exist in the brain. This raises the possibility that one day the compound may be used as a treatment for stroke victims. Of course, this doesn't mean you can gorge on chocolate to prevent a stroke. It's still high in saturated fat and calories. Remember, it's the cocoa not the chocolate that's giving you the benefit.

New Yorkers now have a cancer "map" which shows the number of cancer cases by neighborhood.

The interactive map used data from the New York State Cancer Registry and the State Department of Environmental Conservation and it lists the number of cases of the 23 most common cancers within a census block or zip code. It also marks any of 15 environmental facilities, like chemical and oil storage areas and hazardous waste facilities.

The map does not indicate risk factors or give information about whether or not chemicals were released from facilities. It's merely a listing of cancer cases and facilities.

With smoking banned in public places across the country, nicotine researchers have found something else bubbling up -- hookahs also known as water pipes.

A new survey published in the Journal of Pediatrics confirmed that one in four young adults in north america have used a hookah and researchers believe its because many people think they are a safe alternative to cigarettes.

But you may just be trading one bad habit for another.

According to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the hookah pipe exposes users to more smoke, carbon monoxide and similar amounts of nicotine.

The idea that it actually lowers nicotine is the number one myth.

Skin cancer is easiest to cure when it's caught early, so dermatologists recommend you do a skin self-exam once a month .

A good time to do this is right out of the shower before you get dressed.

You're going to need a mirror with plenty of bright light and you want to look everywhere in a methodical fashion from head to toe even between your toes.

Start with the scalp and don't forget your back and behind your ears.

To help keep track of moles or other lesions use a body map -- you can print one right from the internet. It's important to note their approximate size, color and always write down the date. This way when you check again next month, you'll know if there's any change.

An Ohio company is recalling 2.5 million ride-on toy buggies because a design flaw can allow them to roll away uncontrolled.

The buggies, which resemble cars, have long handles so parents can push them like a stroller. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the push handles on select Step2 Push Around and Whisper Ride buggies can detach, allowing the buggies to roll away without any means of control.

The company has received 28 reports of detached handles, including two reports of injuries that required medical treatment.

The push handles on the recalled buggies are attached by a pin with a yellow knob on the head. Buggies with handles attached by bolts with black or white plastic heads are not included in the recall.

The U.S.-made buggies were sold between August 1999 and March 2010.

From Celebrity Fit Club, Dr. Ian Smith was here to talk about his new book Happy: Simple Steps to Get the Most Out of Life.

"Happiness isn’t the too-brief rush that comes from getting something you’ve wanted—it’s the lasting great feeling that comes from becoming someone you want to be and someone others want to be with, too. No matter where you start, Happy can help you improve your life and permanently alter your happiness set point.

Dr. Ian has inspired millions to lose weight. In counseling dieters, Smith learned that while achieving hard-fought and worthy goals can help make a person happy, even these real accomplishments aren’t what make happiness stick. In Happy, Ian Smith presents a program that motivates readers to understand the behaviors and mind-sets that work and last," says Amazon of the book.

Happy: Simple Steps to Get the Most Out of Life is available in stores now.

Is Leslie destined to play the role of "best friend" forever or will Scott finally see that what he always wanted is right in front of him?" says Fox Searchlight of the movie.

Cold sores, also known as fever blisters and sun blisters are fluid-filled lesions that are caused by herpes virus type one. They are very contagious and can pass from one person to another just by making skin contact. You're most contagious from the time you see the blisters until they've completely dried and crusted over. Some people are even contagious after that. Most times a cold sore lasts about two weeks but oral antiviral medications like Zovirax, Famvir and Valtrex can modestly shorten the duration if you start taking them early when you first feel the tingling on your lips.

Each week we're telling viewers about events, activities and items that are free.

On this week's free list:

Actress Lisa Rinna has teamed up with the Society for Women's Health Research to raise awareness about low sexual desire in women.

Experts believe that the chemicals in the brain may play a role in sexual response, impacting a woman's sexual desire. And few people realize that a lack of desire, accompanied by distress, may be a medical condition known as Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD). A recent survey from the SWHR revealed that women are six times more likely to be aware of erectile dysfunction than they are of HSDD.

Lisa was joined by world renowned sex and relationship expert Dr. Laura Berman and together they want to help women recognize and better understand the link between the brain, body and sexual desire.

Harold was the club's second member when it opened in 1969. At age 16, he had found his vocation working with the community and has been with the club first as a member, then eventually working up through the ranks.

His daughter, Erica, a Julliard-educated dancer, who has performed in off-Broadway theater and is a former NBA All-Star dancer, returned to the club where she grew up as well, to work on their already well-respected performing arts programming. The program boasts prominent alumni including actresses Kerry Washington and Jennifer Lopez.

A warning for consumers. Some people are accidentally swallowing over the counter Benadryl gel - a topical medication-- and they're winding up in emergency rooms.
This has prompted a federal safety warning and possible changes to the product's label. It's clearly stated on the current label that the medication is for external use only. But the U-S Food and Drug Administration believes people are mistaking it for other Benadryl products that are supposed to be taken orally. Between 2001 and 2009 there have been 121 cases of ingestion with some people winding up in intensive care. The overall numbers could be significantly higher because not everyone is reporting the incident to the manufacturer. Benadryl overdose can lead to convulsions, irregular heart beats and death.

LIRR cost-cutting cancellations and service cuts start today. There are a few changes for the morning commute, but most will affect the ride home. For the full list of changes and how you can get around them, click here.

This video is getting a lot of attention on the web, 7-year old girls performing to Beyonce's "Single Ladies" song at the World of Dance competition last month.
There is a lot of controversy over this one, so we want to know what you think about the video.

A new report examined the results of 10 different studies on how statins affect clots in the veins of the body which added up to nearly a million men and women. It found that statins (known commonly as Lipitor, Zocor and Crestor) can prevent the development of clots in the veins which pose a serious risk of heart attack and stroke.

The cholesterol lowering medications also prevented clots from developing in the deep veins of the legs, which can cause pulmonary embolism; a potentially fatal condition where the clot travels to the lungs. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about a third of people with pulmonary embolism die from the condition.

Researchers are now saying that based on this report, doctors should consider giving statins to patients at high risk for pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis.

A new study finds people who take Vitamin E supplements regularly for years -- whether they smokers or not -- may lower their risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Participants in the study took 600 IU of Vitamin E every other day for at least 10 years.

The reduced risk was only about 10 percent, however it was significant. Symptoms of COPD include shortness of breath, coughing and fatigue.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. About 24 million people in America have COPD.
