Similac recalling 5 million cans of baby formula in the US -damn!
http://money.cnn.com/2010/09/22/news/companies/similac_recall/index.htm
<snip>
Abbott Laboratories said Wednesday that it has issued a recall of approximately 5 million cans of certain Similac-brand powdered infant formula due to the possibility of the presence of a beetle.

Abbott spokeswoman Melissa Brotz said that the presence of a small common beetle was detected in the product produced at a manufacturing facility in Sturgis, Michigan.

The company has since stopped production and shipment of the affected formula, and contacted the Food and Drug Administration to initiate the recall.

3. Exactly. Now where did I leave the cochineal extract.
There is a bloody huge difference between "Ick" to you and dangerous to bubs. If this later turns out to be something more sinister than a dickhead leaving a door/lid open then most certainly introdce those responsible to the doc (Martin). An honest mistake quickly remidied? The world has far bigger things to worry about than baby formular with a little extra chittin.
