Homeopathic teething tablets contain toxic substance, FDA confirms
If there was any lingering doubt, toss Hyland's homeopathic teething remedies – they may be toxic to babies, the FDA said over the weekend.
A lab analysis by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found that the teething tablets parents use to soothe fussy babies have contained elevated levels of the toxic substance belladonna, which puts babies at risk.
Stop using and toss the teething tablets marketed by Hyland's, the FDA said in its report.
The FDA urged the maker of the tablets, Standard Homeopathic Company in Los Angeles, to recall the teething tablet containing belladonna "in order to protect consumers from inconsistent levels."
Hyland's has not yet publicly answered the request for the recall.
