[QUOTE="klmno, post: 368505, member: 3699"] According to what I heard on the news, this latest recall was just due to a bad odor in the medications that was causing nausea in people. I'm not one to mistrust our federal agencies, but I think there is more to the huge recalls for children's medications. I wonder, and am hoping, that they are starting to doubt and research whether some of these medications are contributing to some behavior issues. I remember a medication (OTC) I was told to use on difficult child when he was an infant. He wheezed the day after trying it on three different occasions. I told the pediatrician nurse who kept recommending it and she kept insisting that it could not be that medication. I quit giving it to him anyway. A few years later, it was recalled for "testing", then later taken off the market completely. Sometimes they just don't look into things adequately until 10,000 parents yell, scrream, kick, and bombard them with complaints and concerns. Apparently, that medication I spoke about resulted in major health problems in quite a few infants and I heard that 2 or 3 had even died. [/QUOTE]
