Olean has been discussed here a number of times. The mother who experienced
the side effects of this product in the US needs to report it to the FDA (Food
and Drug Administration) at their Medwatch location:

www.fda.gov/medwatch/

Any such product on the market whether it is food or a medical device that
causes problems to consumers should be reported to the FDA. This includes food
additives like Olean, infant formula, breast pumps, medications, etc. The FDA
has received over 5000 complaints about Olean and will hopefull examine
pulling this product from the market. It will not happen unless consumers
speak up. The same with the other products mentioned above!
