Abstract
Implementation of a single concentration for pediatric liquid acetaminophen products and packaging changes were associated with a decrease in medication errors reported to poison control centers. Medication errors are particularly problematic for children <2 years of age, for whom there are no specific labeled dosing instructions. Improved efforts to provide caregivers with dosing instructions for these children are encouraged.
