Okay, now that I have shared the facts all I have to add is… HOW? At a time with all this technology and medical advancement do we have something to this degree occur? Granted they say they don’t expect any medical emergencies occurring as a result, but do they really know?
If it was alarming enough to pull what I am guessing to be millions of dollars worth of products off the shelves in 12 countries, it has to be worthy of concern. No manufacturer is going to risk losing that much money to pull a product that didn’t pose some sort of high risk consequence. I suspect we are not hearing the full truth, but that doesn’t surprise me none.
If you have administered or a medical facility has administered any of these products, you may want to flood their phone banks with a concerned call. And you many want to consider calling your pediatrician.
