What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMeanwhile, a baby sleep supplement has been recalled after alcohol turned up in the bottles. Lola Cruz is at a pharmacy tonight with the details.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI'm standing in the infant wellness aisle of a drugstore, Hank, where a manager just pulled every bottle of this supplement off the shelf and put them in a cart.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe recall says the bottles contain alcohol, which is not something you want to read on the label of a product meant for a baby's bedtime.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDo we know how much, or how it got in there?

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe notices don't say how it got in, and I'm not going to guess on camera.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentBehind me, a stock clerk is checking every shelf twice.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwice.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentParents are coming in tired, reading the recall sign slowly, and then one father just whispered that this explains a lot about last Tuesday.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHe asked me not to use his name.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI said earlier I'd take the supplement over the other two options. I'd like to see the label first now.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe advice here is simple: check your bottle, stop using it if it's on the list, and ask your pediatrician what to do instead.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe store has a sign up, and everyone is reading it.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSound advice, Lola. A sleep aid that comes with a last call is a first for this desk.
