MIND A GOOD REMINDER. THANKS. SAID SO. FIVE ON YOUR HEALTH. THERE’S A WARNING OUT THERE RIGHT NOW ABOUT FRUIT PUREE POUCHES. WE TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY. THE FDA IS SAYING THAT THESE. TUMMY DOCTOR GUANABANA RHYMES WITH HANNAH APPLE CINNAMON POUCHES COULD CONTAIN EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS OF LEAD. DR. TODD ELLERIN IS HERE, CHIEF OF CHAIR OF MEDICINE AT SOUTH SHORE HEALTH. CHIEF OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES. I TELL YOU, WHEN WE DID THIS STORY YESTERDAY, I SAID WHAT IS THIS HIGH LEVELS OF LEAD? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? WHY ARE THEY FOCUSED ON THIS BRAND PARTICULARLY? ALL RIGHT. SO FOR KIDS FROM NORTH CAROLINA WERE FOUND TO HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF LEAD IN THEIR BLOOD, YOUNG KIDS ARE CHECKED REGULARLY. THAT’S A GOOD THING. THAT IS. SO THEN THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND OTHER CONSUMER AGENCIES WENT INTO THEIR HOMES TO SEE WHAT’S GOING ON. IS IT PAINT? IS IT SOMETHING ELSE? AND THEY FOUND THIS COMMON PRODUCT AND IT WAS THIS THIS APPLE CINNAMON FRUIT POUCH. AND THEY TESTED THESE AND FOUND VERY HIGH LEAD LEVELS. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? WHY HOW IS LEAD GETTING INTO THIS? RIGHT. SO OR DO WE NOT KNOW? WE DON’T KNOW YET. IT CAN COME IN THROUGH, YOU KNOW, FOOD PACKAGING, PROCESSING. IT CAN COME IN THROUGH WATER. AYER THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THERE’S NO SAFE LEVEL IN YOUR BLOOD, SO IT’S NOT OKAY TO HAVE ANY BLOOD LEAD LEVELS BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS. THIS TOXICITY, ACUTE TOXICITY, HEADACHES, IT CAN CAUSE CONCENTRATION DIFFICULTIES, BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, CHRONIC LEAD CAN LEAD TO PROBLEMS WITH COGNITION. IT CAN IMPAIR INTELLIGENCE. YOUR ACHIEVEMENT IN SCHOOLS, THINGS LIKE THAT. PROBLEMS WITH HEARING AND SPEECH. SO IT CAN BE A REAL PROBLEM. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR KIDS DON’T HAVE LEAD IN THEIR BLOOD. IT’S SCARY. THIS IS SCARY. SO LET’S SHOW YOU VIDEO OF THIS PRODUCT AGAIN. AND THIS IS WHAT IT IS. THE ANIMAL CINNAMON, APPLE, CINNAMON POUCHES. THEY WERE SOLD NATIONALLY AT MAJOR RETAILERS, SAM’S CLUB, AMAZON, JOHN, DOLLAR TREE, EVEN WITH THIS RECALL, IT COULD BE TOO LATE FOR SOME FAMILIES. SO WHAT SHOULD PARENTS DO IF THEIR CHILD ALREADY CONSUMED SOME OF THESE POUCHES? REALLY IMPORTANT. THEY FOUND THAT THERE WERE VERY HIGH LEVELS THAT COULD CAUSE ACUTE TOXICITY. SO ANY CHILD THAT HAS HAD THIS PRODUCT, THIS SPECIFIC APPLE, CINNAMON FOOD POUCH FROM GUANABANA, THEY NEED TO CONTACT THEIR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER TO GET A BLOOD LEAD LEVEL. AND ONCE THEY FIND THAT OUT, THEN WHAT HAPPENS? AND THEN FROM THERE, THEY’RE ABLE TO THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO LOWER THE BLOOD LEVELS. THERE’S FOODS WE CAN EAT. THERE’S EVEN PILLS. IF YOU HAVE EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU MONITOR IT AND YOU MAKE SURE IT GOES DOWN. AND MOST KIDS DO VERY WELL. ALWAYS. EXCELLENT ADVICE. AND DOCTOR ELLERIN, WE TALKED ABOUT HALLOWEEN PRIOR TO THIS. AND AND YOU ARE TELL EVERYBODY WHAT YOU’RE GOING AS DO I HAVE TO. ALL RIGHT. I’M GOING. I’M GOING AS CHUCKY. HE’S ACTUALLY DRESSING UP AND. YES, DRESSING THE DOG LIKE CHUCKY AS WELL. DRESSING THE DOG IS TO CHUCKY’S
