The newsletter listed all current medical recalls -- and there were quite a few going on at any given time. I have no idea why this information is not made public automatically. I think I'll go look at the FDA's web-site to see if they now list all recalls... might be interesting.Classof65https://www.blogger.com/profile/00575168312203811542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-23682796801920901222010-02-27T12:29:07.507-05:002010-02-27T12:29:07.507-05:00Probably a viral marketing scheme.

What am I going to do about the two cases I bought on sale at bargain basement sale at Christmas? <br /><br />[I really didn't by the stuff--I use my own thank you. My question: why isn't this information given to the general public that has already purchased the product? Is a letter to the MD or pharmacy the best way to disseminate this information, since the stuff is sold in Five & Dime, Big Lots, or grocery stores?]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-44384726249034231522010-02-27T10:28:04.405-05:002010-02-27T10:28:04.405-05:00I got this same letter at my pharmacy!I got this same letter at my pharmacy!The New Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030645605325438168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-83272981281658639632010-02-27T10:21:05.407-05:002010-02-27T10:21:05.407-05:00Yeah, I'm aware of the zinc issues.
