My kids have been drinking Mott’s 100% Apple Juice for a week now. They started showing signs of being sick such as stomach pain, unexplained fever, facial rash, and even my infant is developing lazy eye. I suspect the juice has arsenic in it. My cousin informed me yesterday about this product having arsenic. Also, the baby has been eating Gerber size 3 jar food at least 3 times per day for over a month now. He has been fighting a fever for almost 3 weeks now with 2 different antibiotics not able to treat any type of hidden infection. My husband and I plan on taking the kids to the doctor first thing tomorrow to have them checked. We have a small amount of apple juice left and we are extremely interested in having it tested for arsenic. I also have several unopened jars of Gerber 3rd foods that I would like tested but we do not know where to go in order to conduct these tests. Someone please contact us; whether it be a doctor or lawyer or both. Thank you – An extremely concerned Mother of 3
Did someone contact you? You sound really concerned and to sit back and wait for someone to call you sounds like the best plan. Maybe they will contact you and just give you money? You are a good mom.
