More children were apparently sickened by apple puree pouches recently recalled due to dangerous lead contamination, the Food and Drug Administration said.
The agency has received 52 reports of elevated lead levels among children who reportedly consumed the products, which is up from 34 cases reported last week. The reports span 22 states and involve children between the ages of 1 to 4, according to the FDA’s online update on the investigation.
The pouches were marketed to parents and children under three brands: WanaBana apple cinnamon fruit puree and Schnucks and Weis cinnamon applesauce pouches. They were sold by national grocery chains, including Dollar Tree, and online retailers such as Amazon.
The FDA said it is still working with Dollar Tree to get the recalled products off of shelves in several states.
Parents then didn’t have to work 3 jobs and find the time
Nah back in the day that kid had his own job in the mines and pulled their weight instead of being a leech on the family.
I hope this is sarcasm
ಠ ͜ʖ ಠ yup
Although I don’t agree that people didn’t have to work in the past. While there were times where a single income could provide for a family it was really tough for other families. And child labor is definitely more common the further back you go.
