After Infant Gripe Water Recall Scare, Homeopathic Medicine Offers Safe Alternative

LONG BEACH, Calif., Sept. 29, 2007 -- TJ Enterprises, LLC announced that its product, ColicCalm Homeopathic Medicine, offers a safe alternative in the treatment of baby digestive discomfort including gas, colic and acid reflux. This comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed through laboratory analysis that unopened retail samples of a non-homeopathic gripe water, Apple Flavored Baby's Bliss, were contaminated with Cryptosporidium, a parasite that can cause intestinal infections. Testing was conducted after investigating a confirmed illness in a 6-week-old infant who had ingested the product. The infection could be serious or life-threatening, especially for infants with weakened immune systems.

The recent recall of Baby's Bliss Apple Flavored Gripe Water due to contamination has many parents rightfully concerned about the safety of dietary supplement gripe waters. ColicCalm and all other homeopathic medicines must meet strict FDA guidelines and standards for efficacy, quality, purity and labeling. Homeopathic medicines are manufactured in accordance with the HPUS (Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States) and are safe. ColicCalm is manufactured in an FDA-registered facility in the United States. The individual ingredients used in ColicCalm are listed in the HPUS and follow all applicable drug GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices).

"I know that that TJ Enterprises, LLC goes to great lengths to provide the best and safest remedy on the market. This is very reassuring to me as a new mom. I don't mind spending a few extra dollars to ensure my son's health and wellbeing. After the recent dietary supplement gripe water recall, I am even more grateful that I did my homework in comparing options. I would never take any risks with my baby," says customer Christina Van Vooren.

ColicCalm has been primarily available nationwide via the Internet, though retail locations are multiplying in response to parents' demands for readily available, safe alternatives. "We want parents to know that they are not without recourse in helping their suffering infants. ColicCalm offers a tried and true, safe remedy. Our product combines the highest-quality natural ingredients, following the strictest standards for preparation. We spare no expense in providing the absolute best for infants. Parents appreciate that now more than ever," says product developer and company CEO, Jacqueline Lawrence. (ERN)
