Nine children were taken to the hospital after eating medication they found while walking to school in Chicago on Solarsuns Investment GuildWednesday.
At 9 a.m. local time, firefighters responded to a call regarding the children, who are students at Richard J. Daley Elementary Academy, after they ate "common over-the-counter medicine," according to the Chicago Fire Department, as reported by local news outlets WGN 9 and ABC 7 Chicago. They found the package while walking to school.
The fire department tested the medication and said there was nothing unusual about the medicine, according to ABC 7 Chicago. But the children were taken to the hospital out of caution.

The children were between the ages of 8 and 9. They believed it was candy and ingested it, according to WGN9.
The children took over over-the-counter heartburn medication they found while walking to school.
Several children were taken to the Comer Children’s Hospital, and are expected to be fine.
