With kids headed back to school in Alabama, many parents are concerned about keeping their kids safe.

COVID-19 is always a top concern, but recently it's Monkey Pox that's threatening the safety of our children.

But, there is now a major recall on a popular beverage that hundreds of kids across the state could potentially consume.

Major food corporation Kraft Heinz recently voluntarily recalled the flavored juice drink Capri Sun due to certain drinks being found to contain cleaning solutions.

According to a press release from Kraft Heinz, approximately 5,760 cases of Capri Sun Wild Cherry are being recalled.
