Gripe Water Recalled....

Herbal supplement is called unsafe for children

State health officials are urging consumers to stop giving infants and other children a liquid herbal supplement intended to ease stomach discomfort.

The state Department of Public Health said the product -- apple-flavored Baby's Bliss Gripe Water -- may be contaminated with a parasite that causes intestinal infections.

The supplement is distributed by Mom Enterprises Inc. of San Rafael, Calif., which is recalling the product.

The most common symptom of the infection linked to the parasite is watery diarrhea.

No illnesses related to the contamination have been reported in California. But an illness was reported to have occurred in Minnesota.

 

This is directly from the manufacturer and the recall is ONLY for apple flavored (which I had never heard of until now anyway) AND is a particular LOT#....not all releases of this product:

WOW! Thank you for posting that! I hadn't heard! I looked into buying that stuff when my kiddos were brand new. I'm glad I never got around to ordering it!!

 

Thanks for the post Ashley. I know I use gripe water, but it a different brand. I did use baby bliss with the son. So scarey.
