LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – The recent recall of Children's Tylenol products has been expanded to include additional medications.

Those recalled are Children's Tylenol, Motrin, and Benadryl allergy tablets. Apparently, the lots were shipped and stored on the same type of wooden pallet as medications involved in the previous recall. And there was a chemical in the wood that triggered a musty, moldy odor.

Officials say the risk of injury is remote, but they want to get rid of all that medication just as a precaution.
