Just to clarify, when I sold this pump ( PNS) originally, I told this ( about
the single consumer use only) to the Mom.  I tell all moms purchasing a pump
this. I guess they don't consider friends to be sources of contamination.

with a bounced check (my fault), my daughter at college not getting financial
aid she was counting on, my son's car window falling out, and 5 Bfing
counseling calls!).
