Recall Alert: Deadly Poison Found In Kids Products
3 types of children’s medicine have been recalled by Raritan Pharmaceuticals due to unsafe levels of a key ingredient. Too much of this key ingredient, Belladonna, is dangerous and potentially deadly.
The affected medicines are:
- CVS Kids Relief Homeopathic Ear Relief Oral Liquid
- CVS Homeopathic Infants’ Teething Tablets
- CVS Homeopathic Kids’ Ear Relief Liquid
Raritan discovered a higher than recommended level of the ingredient Belladonna which is commonly known as nightshade. Belladonna is sometimes found in homeopathic or pharmaceutical products. In large doses, it can be toxic.
A child may experience seizures, difficulty breathing, lethargy, and sleepiness if affected by Belladonna poisoning.
Sushant Pradhan, a Raritan Pharmaceuticals representative said “The recall is a precautionary action,” said. He claimed that the recalled products only contain about a nanogram of belladonna, which “isn’t toxic to anybody.” Raritan said he hasn’t yet seen the recent tests from the FDA, hence the recall.
Last year the FDA issued a warning that parents take caution in giving homeopathic teething tablets and gels to infants and children. CVS was one of the brands considered in this warning as well as Hyland’s, and others, all of which are sold in retail stores and online.
This goes without saying – If you have any of the medicines listed above, stop use immediately. Should your child be exposed to it and experiences any of these symptoms, seek medical attention right away.
You can also call the Poison Control Center on 800-222-1222.

In this situation yes. But it happens with toys, carseat, food ect. I’m just saying it happens way too often! These are things we are supposed to trust to give to our babies & we can’t. It’s just ridiculous

Always, Always look at the ingredients before buying! If you don’t know some of the ingredients ask the pharmacist!

That wouldn’t help with homeopathic because the manufactures are not required to list all the active ingredients or to provide their concentrations …Which is unbelievable really

Of course. Homeopathic junk.
Alternative medicine by definition, is medicine that has either not been proven to work or been proven not to work.
