Infant cold and cough medications recalled

October 11, 2007 at 8:33 pm

OK, this is a new one on me, but pharmaceutical makers have decided to recall their OTC cold and cough remedies that had previous been recommended for children under 2 not because there is really anything inherently dangerous about them, but rather because some parents are too dumb to follow the dosage directions. Read more details on this baby medication recall here.

Baby’s Bliss Gripe Water recalled

September 21, 2007 at 1:33 pm

Just because it’s labeled “herbal” or “natural” or “organic” doesn’t always mean it’s 100% safe:

The Food and Drug Administration warned parents Thursday to avoid Baby’s Bliss Gripe Water-Apple Flavor, a liquid herbal supplement for baby colic, as it could be contaminated.

The FDA conducted lab tests that confirmed the presence of Cryptosporidium, a parasite that can cause diarrhea and intestinal infections, in unopened bottles of apple-flavored Baby’s Bliss Gripe Water, health officials said.

One 6-week-old baby from Minnesota could be sick from the product, a warning posted Sept. 10 on the FDA’s website says.

Bottles affected have the lot code “26952V” printed on it, with an expiration date of October ~~8th~~ 2008 (thanks for the heads up, J Cassidy!). Parents are advised to stop using the product and dispose of it immediately.
