not the first time similac has been recalled. Back in the 1980's it was taken off the shelf and not available for months. parents that filed a claim confirming that they fed their kids the formula (if I remember correctly from 1979 to 1972) WAS AWARDED 200-500 DOLLARS nothing else was ever said about it.
I remember when 12oz cans of Similac (powder) back in the early 90's were only $3.99 and minimum wage was $4.25/hr (in CA). Now it's what? $13 - $27 a can and minimum wage is $8 an hour. It's also all probably manufactured in China these days and there is no telling what kind of crap is in there.
eew eew eew! i fed my daugter similac (now 20mo) and in May i was throwing away our old cans and they did have bugs in em! eew! i thought they just crawled in there or someting... and she was really cranky till she was one (when we stopped giving her formula) my son is now 7 months old and im breastfeeding and i was just considering supplementing with formula so i can get my cycle back because we want to get pregnant again... but i dont think i trust formula anymore :( eew! thanx for the video!
You know. This stupid company should no longer be in business either! It's their stupid fault for not having measures in place to prevent this kind of contamination to happen...
They made millions of dollars off of this stuff, so there should be no mercy, this company should not be in business any longer!
I say boycott their products! They won't learn any other way, than to be pushed out of business!
that is DISGUSTING! I can not believe that such a hug company could let it get this far! Thank God my lil nephew Rye Rye is feeling better! GREAT video love!!!
I hear ya .... my daughter is 3 months old and has been drinking Similac from the beginning since I've had to supplement with formula. Luckily I bought all of mine at Costco and they took it all back so I don't have to worry about dealing with Similac, but YUCK. So disgusted. I agree w/the comment on my page - you should totally do a video about your comments! :-) We use Dr Brown's bottles, too, so I was hoping the same thing about the "barrier." Are you switching him off Similac?
Hayleigh was on the Similac and I switched her to the Gerber powdered formula. I agree with you 110%! It is so frustrating and I am disturbed at how these people can not make things safe for infants, toddlers, etc.
SICK! I just finished my last can of formula for Leo I already through away the cans though so I would have no proof that I fed it to him. He has had diareah bad for a couple of weeks I thought it was from the Apple Juice. Damn now I can tell everyone I fed my baby COCK ROACHES!
I am really PO'd about this happening...and who really knows if we are getting the full meal deal on what this "beetle" is. I think that beetle is probably just a nice word for ROACH!!
And just to think that I joined the "Strong Mom's" club, using the $5.00 coupon/checks and all the what-nots...and all the while thinking to myself..I know it's just baby formula, but this is pretty cool....right?? Schmeh!!
My 8oz. recall can came from a free sample sent in the mail.How many already used that?
I would be so so so mad!!!!! That is Bull Shit!!! No wonder you are awake at that time in the morning. That company has alot to answer for. You do trust the company to make the safe formula. I love 'It's Lactose free but comes with free beetles' Love it! Can you buy lactose free milk in America? We have some here in Aus which I have to have. My son is on soy cos he has the same allergy as i do.
You should be paid some type of compensation. We dont have similac here in Aus that i know of.
@cupcaaakemomma You are very welcome! This is super upsetting. If I were you I would just take your cans to a Target and see if they will let you return it for a different formula rather than going through the WIC....it sounds like a ton of woman are having to wait and arent being given milk right away which if you are on WIC I think it is important because you cant afford to buy your own! Formula is EXPENSIVE! Good luck hun!
This made me so sick! I have this posted on my Facebook page......LM has been off formula for a little while. He was on sensitive too and hasn't had a problem with whole milk. Hope Riley feels better :(
@beautyisnteverything He was on sensitive? I thought he was on goodstart? Anyways this is very upsetting! i mean a can from MONTHS ago was on the recall list! It just is so disturbing!
@meemsiemamaof3 Wow! Thats crazy! I know some mothers that didnt even know of the recall this morning! It is not getting enough attention!! Thanks so much I found it! I am glad because people need to realize this can I have is MONTHS old! :(
I agree FULLY with everything you say...this is DISGUSTING...we are the parents and we deserve to at least know what bugs our children have been eating...by the way...you made a new website...found it on google here is the link ->
Thank you for the info. I breastfeed my son and while my sister uses gerber goodstart this could happen with any formula while being made. It is very scary. I passed this info on to my friends and family and to the health dept and DSS.
@scoutsami01 It's true! They need to realize that this is solely a newborn that is not breastfeds only nutrition and for it to cause a stomach ache, vomiting, or diarrhea is just not acceptable!
awww nooo! :(( That is disgusting. When I formula fed I used good start gentle plus and it worked really well with my son. I would recommend that, if you are willing to switch. That is scary and very gross!!!
OMGosh!!! That would make me so mad too! We only used ready made formula for Grant. We switched him over to whole milk at 11months! I would just switch Riley over to it too since he will be 1 year tomorrow...slowly of course!
