The FDA stance is interesting. Instead of banning kids' cold medicines, they've chosen the "lesser of two evils" position. That is, the FDA fears that if they ban cold meds for kids (which are believed to be ineffective), parents will give adult-strength cold meds to children making the whole situation worse.
