Dear Friends:
    I was impressed with all the investigations, reporting, offers of
lactation help, finding out what happened etc. etc. in this Humana/Remedia formula
disaster.
    In the USA, when there is a formula recall, the information about which
particular lot numbers are involved in the recall is published in the media,
along with a reason.  Nothing else happens, at least that is published. There is
no on-going investigation of the error, there is no recrimination by
government agencies, there is no compensation offered to those who may have been
harmed, and there is no offer of help to encourage women to continue to breastfeed.
    Boy do we in the States have a long way to go!
    warmly,
