Six children were hospitalized in Florida after they ate candy containing cannabis at the Lauderhill Boys & Girls Club on Wednesday. Experts share risks and prevention tips.
A total of eight children ranging from 6 to 8 years of age consumed the gummies. Six of the children were transported to Broward Health and Florida Medical Center, according to Lauderhill Fire Rescue officials. "It is very important to keep all cannabis edible products far away and out of reach of children." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
All of the children now have been released and are "returning to their normal activities," said the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County in an official statement provided to Fox News Digital.
