Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration notified consumers that Hyland’s Teething Tablets is
being recalled because the tablets may pose a risk to kids. The tablets are manufactured to contain a small amount of belladonna, a substance that can cause serious harm at larger doses. Analysis by the FDA has found that Hyland’s Teething Tablets contain inconsistent amounts of belladonna.
Parents should call Dr. Pamela Clark if their child experiences suspicious symptoms after using the tablets. Symptoms of belladonna toxicity include seizures, difficulty breathing, lethargy, excessive sleepiness, muscle weakness, skin flushing, constipation, difficulty urinating and agitation, according to the FDA.
