Similac infant formula voluntarily recalled

[Jagyr Ebonwood]

Since I know I've got a lot of fellow parents on here, I figured I'd post this in case you hadn't seen it yet.

News article is here. Summary - some formula might possibly be contaminated by a beetle, which should be mostly harmless, but might cause some gastrointestinal irritation due to your baby eating ground up insect parts. Gah.

You can go here to check to see if your formula is affected, but I've been trying to reach that website all morning with no luck - their servers can't hold the weight of millions of concerned parents.

Woq! I'm glad we switched already. Of course my little imp puts anything her mouth already, including dead bugs. (not that I encourage this sort of thing) Yum!

I would find an alternate formula with a similar recipe/ingredients asap and then keep checking.

We've got a can of Enfamil that someone gave us that I can crack open if need be, so I'm not overly worried. Damn page still won't load though.
