BABY ORAJEL WARNING
I rec'd the following email from a gal that lives in New York. I have emailed with her personally and although she asked that I not use her name, the info below has been verfied directly.
Dear all,
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Some of you already know, but we wanted to make everyone aware of a terrifying experience that we had over the weekend. Thank g-d, everything's ok now but we thought friends and family would want to be aware and would want to advise others with babies...Z*** been teething pretty badly for the past few days, and we decided to give him Baby Orajel on Sunday afternoon. We've given it to him a few times previously, when his first two teeth cut through, and never had a problem. S**** and I were both sitting with Z*** on the floor in his room when I rubbed a dosage on his upper gum. Seconds after I gave it to him, he made a face as if he were crying but no noise came out. I picked Z*** up and he immediately went limp in my arms and his face turned blueish. He was not panicking or gasping for air - he was lifeless. This lasted for approximately 15 seconds, but felt like an eternity. Words cannot convey our feelings during that time (or even now, ever)as we attempted to revive our son. No parent should ever experience such a feeling and no person should ever see something like this happen to a loved one. Without a doubt it was the scariest moment of our lives. Ultimately, Z*** 'came to' and began to cry hysterically. Thank g-d!!!!!!!! We spent the evening at the hospital, where Z*** underwent numerous tests, all of which came back normal. We also spoke with Z*** pediatrician, who stated that she advises against the use of this product because its purpose is to numb and if it gets into an infant's throat, it may stop them from breathing. Obviously, we wanted to learn more about this product and why this happened so we conducted some internet research. Interestingly, we came across some postings of parents with similar experiences. Further, one website listed a side effect as, 'difficulty breathing and grey/blueish face.' Also, when we called Z*** daycare to let them know what happened, the owner said that she's heard of this happening before. It's surprising then that no such warning is on the bottle and that more people do not discuss the negative and possible deadly implications of the use of this product. We don't want to imagine what could've happened if we had given this to him at night, in his crib, as we (and many others) have done in the past, and then walked away (although, of course we monitor him throughout the night). To reiterate, the reason we share the above with you is to strongly advise you of the effects of Baby Orajel products and to advise your friends and family of the same. Trust us, it's not worth the possible side effects.

The Friends & Helpers Foundation believes every child deserves a chance 

Throughout the years, due to your generosity, friends and helpers have been able to give those chances to thousands of children. One way to ensure success is to see that these children are equipped with backpacks to stay in school.  In addition to providing them with material goods, these backpacks serve as reminders to the students that they are not alone and they are not forgotten.  Please look at the list of needed items and see where you can help. Additionally, this year friends and helpers is offering you a chance to sponsor a backpack; donate $20 to F&H and they will purchase the supplies and assemble the backpack themselves.  There is no limit on how many backpacks you can sponsor, nor is there a limit on the number of students that need your help this year.   Please visit the "Wish List" at www.target.com and view purchase items that they have registered for. As always, friends and helpers greatly appreciate any help you can provide.  If you have any questions, please visit www.friendsandhelpers.org or www.fandh.org, or call 818-757-1905.  What they do and how it changes peoples' lives would not be possible without your support.
