Baby medicine recall expanded because it's too strong: 5 things to know Thursday, January 31

Even more infant ibuprofen has been recalled for containing too much medicine, Cam Newton's new cigar bar is set to open in Atlanta for the Super Bowl and two popular chicken nugget brands are under recall.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —

1. Even more baby ibuprofen is being recalled because it's too strong

Tris Pharma, Inc. is expanding its recall of infants’ ibuprofen to include three additional lots of Ibuprofen Oral Suspension Drops, USP, 50 mg per 1.25 mL.

The New Jersey-based pharmaceutical company originally recalled the liquid infant ibuprofen in November 2018 due to a higher concentration of ibuprofen than advertised and could cause longterm damage to babies' kidneys.

Brands impacted are CVS Health, Equate and Family Wellness, which were sold at CVS, Walmart and Family Dollar, respectively. If you have any of these in your medicine cabinet, you should throw them away. 

2. J. Cole will headline the 2019 NBA All-Star Game in Charlotte

We now know who's going to provide the entertainment for Charlotte's biggest sporting event ever. It was announced Wednesday that North Carolina's own J. Cole will rock Spectrum Center at halftime of next month's NBA All-Star Game. 

Meek Mill will perform during pre-game ceremonies, while Charlotte native Anthony Hamilton is slated to sing the national anthem. 

The 2019 NBA All-Star Game will be broadcast live on TNT at 8 p.m. on Sunday, February 17.  

3. Two popular makers of chicken nuggets have issued recalls

If you've recently bought chicken nuggets that are Tyson or Perdue, you might want to look at the label.

Tyson has recalled 36,000 pounds of nuggets that may be contaminated with rubber. The nationwide recall was issued for five-pound plastic packages with a "best if used by" date of Nov. 26, 2019. 

The case code on the affected products is 3308SDL03 with time stamps 23:00 through 01:59.

Perdue issued its second recall in about two weeks after some of their fun shape nuggets may contain milk, which isn't listed on the ingredients label. The recall is for 12-ounce packages with a "use by date" of March 11, 2019. 

On January 17, Perdue issued a nationwide recall for 22-ounce bags of Perdue gluten-free SimplySmart Organics Breaded Chicken Breast Nuggets after reports by consumers that wood was found in the nuggets. There have also been no reports of adverse reactions related to this recall. Consumers who bought these nuggets should look for  "best by" date of October 25, 2019, and UPC Bar Code 72745-80656.

4. Cam Newton is opening his first cigar bar just in time for the Super Bowl

With the Super Bowl just days away, Cam Newton's first business is opening in grand fashion in his hometown of Atlanta. 

It's called Fellaship, and it's a cigar bar and lounge in Atlanta's Castleberry Hill neighborhood, just a few steps away from Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Newotn and his brother CJ developed the social club as a reflection of how Sundays were growing up in the Newton house where friends and families gathered. 

And you can watch the Super Bowl there. For a price, of course. You can get an all-weekend pass for $3,000 or you can swing in for Sunday's big game for $750.
