So here I go back on the soapbox again! I just read on someone's Facebook page about the Tylenol recall. I was well aware of the recall (I had Tylenol that was in the recall) but I didn't know what sparked the recall.
From what I've been able to gather, back in March of 2002 a child died from acetaminophen toxicity. While that's beyond tragic, the parents were ultimately responsible. They assumed Infant's Tylenol wasn't as potent as Children's Tylenol.
First of all, WHO assumes when giving anything to their child? I know I sure as hell don't! If I'm still unsure, I call her pediatrician and they will do a phone consult free. That's how I know that I can give her Children's Benedryl when she needs it.
Second, WTH is with everyone being sue happy?!?! I mean come on now! The parents gave the kid too much and won 5 million, some lady spilled hot coffee and won, some guy sued a motor home company because he thought the brocure meant "cruise control" meant you could set it and go make coffee. I mean come on people. Are we REALLY that ignorant as a society? Well, actually, the masses voted Obama in so I guess there's my answer but still. It's common sense... hot coffee is HOT (who would have thought!?!?!)... cruise control is NOT auto pilot... and READ THE DAMN LABEL before giving your kid anything!
Common sense people. We were taught in kindergarten to "Think before you act." Apparently everyone forgot. When it comes to your kids, there is NO EXCUSE. THINK BEFORE YOU ACT! READ THE LABELS.... Do WHATEVER it takes to keep your kids safe!
