Children's medicine
When you are moving to another country for two years and you want to make sure you have enough of the children's medicine that you trust and know, you buy in bulk and have it sent over in your sea shipment. At least, that is what we did. Then shortly after we got here, Tylenol announced a huge recall of almost all of their children's products. After reviewing the numbers on our bottles, it was clear to us that we couldn't use any of them that we brought with us. I kept them so that I could enter the numbers on the recall site for a refund and finally, just today, sat down on the computer and got them all entered so that I could toss them before the movers come next week. We had 13 bottles of recalled Children's Tylenol, Children's Ibuprofen and Children's Tylenol Cold. I kept a log of all the numbers I entered in their site and took a picture before I tossed them, as the website does say you may have to answer some questions before you get a refund. And yes, that is Bean posing behind the bottles, she wants Tylenol to see how pretty her dress is. Yeah, I am sure I will get a call from them, not because they think her dress is pretty, but because I don't think normal households usually have 13 bottles of children's medicine in them.
