Federal officials have issued a warning to parents about the possible dangers of teething medicines.

The FDA has also asked manufacturers to quit selling their products for use by babies and toddlers. 

The FDA said that various gels and creams, including 4 Orajel teething brands, contain the Benzocaine.
