There was a recall on epi-pens awhile ago. There is also now a long waiting list epi-pens. Unless the allergy is peanuts you go to the bottom of the list. I know of a toddler who is highly allergic to a common medication, even from physical contact he can stop breathing and has had to be rescucitated. Fortunately he was in hospital the first time it happened. Initial warning is breathing problems and loss of balance. So far they have been waiting almost 2 years for an epi-pen. They were told they would be allocated one when he is 3 years old. That being the case they should have been able to buy one a few months ago.

It was all over the news here in WA. So sad. Suffering from allergies is scary. 🙁

So very sad – every sympathy to the family – just so heartbreaking.

Aw bless, so so sad ! My thoughts & prayers go out to the family.
