please check that they do not contain any iron. Iron is very dangerous when overdosed by children.

I would be a bit concerned about such a high intake of vit a.

Yes - it is a lot of vitamin A - but not sure if a one off dose is less of a problem than too high a dose over a longer period. Question for a doctor or nutritionist who knows a bit more about it.
