Hylands Teething Tablet Recall: FDA, Homeopathic Voluntary Recall

So, I read the warning on the FDA site.  What a bunch of bolognie. "Serious adverse events that are consistent with belladonna toxicity".  Well, that means that the children's parents exceeded the recommended dosage.  It has nothing to do with the tablets themselves--obviously, a 6 month old child cannot give themselves sublingual tablets. "Consumed more tablets than recommended because bottles don't have child-proof caps."  Well, as with ANY OTHER MEDICATION, parents are supposed to keep these out of the reach of kids!!   Is that the fault of the makers of these teething tablets?  NO!!  It is the fault of the parents who don't watch their kids!!  The FDA is recalling the teething tablets because the reports that they received about this is only because of IRRESPONSIBLE PARENTS!!! Just about ANYTHING can cause harm to children---WATER can cause harm to children if they drink 10 gallons of it!!  Is water recalled?  NO!   And, certainly, Tylenol/Motrin, which the FDA is now advising parents to give teething children, is VERY DANGEROUS!!  They cause liver failure and toxicity!!   Why doesn't the FDA come out and say that these meds are harmful to children?  Why doesn't the FDA come out and say that too much formula can cause iron toxicity in babies?  Because the ones who complained about this are the big pharmaceutical companies who are losing sales of their own over the counter analgesics because of this VERY EFFECTIVE medicine!!  So, they try to come up with ANYTHING to get an herbal product recalled to increase their own sales!!   It is a bunch of BULLSHIT!!! Furthermore, in the FDA's findings, they say that the tablets contain "inconsistent amounts of belladonna".  Well, these teething tablets don't have to be FDA approved because they are herbal supplements.  Where does the FDA come off doing something like this to sensationalize these VERY EFFECTIVE tablets?  Hyland's should sue the FDA for defamation and slander.  Belladonna toxicity is not from normal dosages of the tablets---it is from irresponsible parents giving their babies more than the recommended dosage!!  The FDA and the media sensationalize shit like this, and scare the hell out of people for no good reason.  It is a shame that something like this happened to a product that has shown to be wonderfully effective for over 85 years.  No deaths have ever been reported from these teething tablets, and I am quite sure that the "children who consumed more tablets than recommended" are NOT children who are teething, but older children who decided to "sample" the pills in the medicine cabinet!!   If irressponsible and lazy parents would keep an eye on their kids, stuff like this wouldn't happen.  It is sad that babies and parents now have to suffer because of the actions of idiots like that.   People should have to pass a licensing test to become parents, because the majority of them out there today are imbeciles.

Here is word for word what I found on the recall website:   2. What exactly are the "adverse" effects referenced in the recall? Some children have been observed to show symptoms of fever, dry mouth, and drowsiness. FDA states adverse events have not been conclusively linked to Hyland's Teething Tablets. 5. Why is Standard Homeopathic Company/Hyland's recalling its Hyland's Teething Tablets? Hyland's is recalling its Teething Tablets in an abundance of caution after the company and the FDA conducted a thorough review of the company's adverse event reports and manufacturing processes. Together, we have identified manufacturing processes of Teething Tablets that can be improved to ensure uniformity in dosage. We also believe there are opportunities to refine the production, packaging and testing protocols on this product. 6. Is this recall related to the conversations around Belladonna overdosing concerns? No. With a sampling of our normal tablets an infant or child would need to take 1,025 of our Hyland's Teething Tablets to experience the first symptoms of dry mouth. If the Teething Tablet production process resulted in a variation of Belladonna, we are confident that children would still need to ingest significantly more than the dosing instructions on the label. We encourage you to continue to follow all label directions on over-the-counter medicines to ensure overdosing does not occur. 12. Why exactly are the Teething Tablets being recalled? The FDA has received adverse event reports they feel could possibly be related to Hyland's Teething Tablets. The evidence is non-conclusive. Because Hyland's cares about moms and babies more than anything else, being extra cautious, we are voluntarily recalling Hyland's Teething Tablets while we continue to investigate, refine and improve our manufacturing and testing process to continue to ensure safety for our consumer. 16. How will Hyland's remedy this situation? Hyland's is offering a coupon for a replacement Hyland's product or consumers can return their product for a refund. Complete details are provided by calling 1-877-496-5044 or at www.hylandsteething.com/recall.. 18. How do I return the product for a refund?

As we are processing a large number of requests, please allow up to 8 weeks to receive your refund. www.hylandsteething.com/recall/teething-tablet-recall-faq.html Hope this helps you!
