OK, so we are all concerned about what we feed our animals, so I figured if you have kids or babies you are probably just as careful as I am with them!

I have a 19 month old who has a cold. My husband bought her the Triaminic Cold Strips for infants. Upon inspection of the label and the INACTIVE ingredients, I noticed that the NUMBER ONE AND TWO inactive ingredients were ACETONE AND ALCOHOL! So, by weight/concentration, the top inactive ing. were something that I would NEVER take on my own, let alone give to a baby. This is just disgusting in my opinion. Please, spread the word about this travesty. I do believe the company will likely say it is such a negligible amount and blahblahblah, but ANY is too much in my opinion!
