Comments on: Suing Mom: FDA Issues Warning on Use of Mommy’s Bliss Nipple Cream http://jonathanturley.org/2008/05/24/suing-mom-fda-issues-warning-on-use-of-mommys-bliss-nipple-cream/ Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks") Tue, 14 Feb 2012 06:29:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: puzzling http://jonathanturley.org/2008/05/24/suing-mom-fda-issues-warning-on-use-of-mommys-bliss-nipple-cream/#comment-13883 Tue, 27 May 2008 20:48:23 +0000 http://jonathanturley.wordpress.com/?p=1915#comment-13883 I read this statement of reply from the manufacturer:

“Apparently the FDA had conducted an assessment of the product in early October but only contacted the company about two weeks ago. This is extremely troubling since it has taken the FDA over 6 months to inform us of the results of this assessment.

As soon as the FDA informed us of their concern 10 days ago, we immediately and voluntarily stopped selling and marketing the product.

The product has been on the market for over a year and there have no consumer complaints. On the contrary, the feedback on the product has been very positive.

The FDA also neglected to mention that the amount of chlorphenesin and phenoxyethanol in the product is minute relative to what is considered allowable for adults. Both chlorphenesin and phenoxyethanol are approved cosmetic preservatives and used extensively in many products.”

… so the spin is that the FDA is the one who fell down on the job and maliciously withheld information from both the public and the company, doing the most harm.

I was trying to figure out if this was sold at any major retailers, who probably have deeper pockets than this manufacturer. Fortunately, MOM Enterprises is making it easy on the lawyers by continuing to list the independent vitamin stores, baby boutiques, and natural foods stores that they sold the product to right on their site.
