According to a statement released this week, the agency is investigating the adverse events and the cases involving the deaths, as “the relationship of these deaths to the homeopathic teething products has not yet been determined and is currently under review.”
The deaths and adverse events include fever, lethargy, vomiting, sleepiness, tremors, shortness of breath, irritability and agitation — occurred over the past six years.
Parents who have used the tablets to soothe teething babies are urged take their child to a doctor immediately if the child experiences problems.
