I'm Sure You've Heard

I must be honest, this is a boring but important post. You have probably already heard or read about this but I thought I will still share anyway... Just in case. 

It really only pertains to moms of children who wear pampers diapers. To everyone else.... Hang in there til tomorrow.

My kids wear pampers so when I heard about this the other day I started to read about it. Here is some literature on what the CPSC has investigated. If you need more info please Click Here

Fri, May 7, 2010(HealthDay News) -- Reports that new types of Pamper diapers can cause serious rashes are being investigated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The agency decided to look into the issue after receiving a handful of complaints that babies and toddlers had suffered severe and persistent rashes and blisters that resemble chemical burns, the Associated Press reported.
The new versions of Swaddlers and Cruisers diapers, which were introduced to the United States in March, use Dry Max technology instead of the paper pulp used in older versions. Cincinnati-based Proctor and Gamble says the new diapers are safe.
"There is no evidence from the people that have called us -- or from the research that we have done -- that a single baby has experienced a skin safety issue as a result of our Pampers with Dry Max," the company said in a statement, the AP reported.
The CPSC investigation is in the early stages and wants parents to report any problems with the diapers. "We would like parents and caregivers to report to CPSC if they feel that their baby has been affected by this issue," he said. "It's so important for it to come directly to us," said CPSC spokesman Scott Wolfson.

12 Days of Cookies

I thought I would share with you Food Networks 12 days of Cookies. I realize that some of you have probably read the recipes or have tried to cook these but I thought I would share them with you anyway.

I know I have said before that sweets are definitely a weakness for me. Each Christmas (if time allows) I make these tins full of sweet and hand them out to family and friends. Last year, since I was 8 months pregnant, I did not do this. I just couldn't spend a lot of time on my feet baking in the kitchen (even though I wanted to.) Now this year-- I would love to do that but with everything else going on I am not for sure time will allow.

Don't you hate that? I do... Running of out of time--that is... There always seems to not be enough time in the day.

Hopefully this will help with your cookie recipe collection and you will be able to find some good ones to add to your family favorites.

Recalls: Tylenol for Childrens and infants'

Pass this along:

 

 

ATLANTA, GA -- The makers of Tylenol are recalling some of their Childrens' and Infants' Tylenol made between April and June 2008.

The recall was prompted by the detection of bacteria among some of the ingredients used in the manufacturing of the products. McNeil Consumer Healthcare emphasized in a letter to doctors and other healthcare professionals released this week that the bacteria was not found in any finished product, but that the company had decided to recall the products as a precaution.

Parents and consumers who have concerns after having given their children any of the affected products are advised to contact their healthcare providers.

Anyone who has the product is advised to contact McNeil Healthcare at 800-962-5357 to receive a coupon for a new bottle of the product. Any of the affected product they may have should be thrown away.

To find out if you have the product, there is a sticker on the bottom of the box that the product came in; in addition, there is a sticker on the bottle that contains the UPC, Code number and Lot number.
