Glad you called poison control, but you really have little to nothing to worry about. Manufacturer's of kids chewable vitamins formulate their concentrations based on worst case scenarios. They always plan for the scenario that a kid eats a whole bottle.

Humans can tolerate megadoses of most vitamins and minerals fairly well. Doesn't matter if they are fat or water soluble. My guess is that a lot of the vitamins also passed straight through your brothers system because childrens vitamins are not time released.

Not true. Water soluble vitmains, yes. Fat soluble vitamins can be dangerous, especially when they are synthetic and taken in unnaturally high quantities.

why you?

Why you need a biochem text to talk about the problems of fat-soluable vitamins?

An expert at bio and chemistry should have known he'd be ok if Poison Control did, but I am glad you have that on your speed-dial.

 
You can't overdose on most kids vitamins unless you eat multiple containers of them. They are like that for a reason.

This is why you buy the NASTIEST fvcking possible vitamins for little kids. God, my mom used to get these Pokemon vitamins (wasn't long ago that I was a little elementary school monster) and God, they tasted like SH1T, you could almost taste the Iron in those things.
