CHILD SAFETY
Much Thanks to “Helpful Hinters” Lori (Chase’s Mom), Ali (Dominic’s Mom, Jessica (Aliya’s Mom) and Michelle & Jennifer (Addison’s Mom) for the information below!
From Lori:
Hi moms,
I know this is not always the happiest of subjects, but a mom-friend of mine sent
me the attached information on child abduction prevention so I thought I would pass
it on to more of my mom friends. Even though we have probably seen a lot of these
tips before and most of them are common sense, its good to read them again have them
on hand.
Please review the three PDFs for the information,
From Ali:
For $30.00, you can order the Amber Alert Child ID Kit just to be safe. It’s a thumb drive loaded with your child’s pertinent info that you keep with you at all times (password protected, of course). The software program allows you to enter multiple children’s profiles (I even added a profile for me and my husband) and stores pictures, descriptions, blood types, license plate #s, contact info, school info, child provider info etc. Basically ANYTHING and ANYONE that has to do with your child. All of this info would help Police find them in case something were to happen. The idea is that if something were to happen, you could just hand this to the Police rather than go crazy trying to locate all of this information when your mind is racing and you can’t think straight.

From Jessica:
For your information regarding Baby Formula, a study from 2004 just for your review.

SIGG BOTTLES & THE BPA WARNING
Thank you to “Helpful Hinter” Polly (Timmy & Ellie’s Mom) for the information below!
Not sure if you use the SIGG water bottles at all...I know we have 2 from whole
foods and it looks like they were not BPA free when we bought them.
SIGG Bottles and BPA (the ugly truth!)
A friend sent me this article about SIGG
bottles, and it's pretty ugly. The company finally admitted that up until recently,
the epoxy liners for their bottles actually DO contain the hormone-disrupting chemical
bisphenol-A. I feel so duped.
Most disturbing is that they changed their product line
in August of 2008--a full year ago--but only admitted the change on Friday. (Which
gave them a year to move the BPA tainted products out of the supply chain and into
our homes.)
Anyway, here's the article:

And here's what the SIGG CEO had to say about the issue. (Note, this article is totally
BURIED in their website.):

SOLUTION! Thank you to “Helpful Hinter” Doris (Evey’s Mom) for the great solution.
I emailed SIGG and they sent me this link w/ info on how to send back your old bottles: http://mysigg.com/bulletin/exchange_program.html
ALTERNATIVE! Thank you to “Helpful Hinter” Laurel for the great option!
We just sent our old bottles in for a replacement.
Kleen Kanteen bottles are a great alternative to the SIGG bottles. They don't have as many cute colors/designs as the SIGG bottles, but they have an attachment for sippy cups when the kids get a bit bigger.
Thank you to Myrna (Samuel's Mom) and Lori (Chase's Mom) for being so thoughtful
to share this LATEST recall information.
CHILDREN'S TYLENOL RECALLED!
