ebamma: The people who bought and consumed the drugs should also be jailed for their stupidity, u see drug were the name be my pikin u still get mind buy am go take So you mean that's how upside down your own judgement is. So you're saying innocent consumers should be jailed for what they know nothing about. Tell me what stupidity you have found in them. Kindly modify your comment, it's not good enough. |

real justice would be chinese-style justice. Directors of 2 milk powder factories which were adding Melamine to milk to falsify protein levels were sentenced to death, and recently executed. Melamine causes, in higher doses, death, just like this medicine. What is there to talk about if someone poisons kids? Bullet in the back of the head and that is it. End of any story. |

Shortly after allocutus by defence counsel, the first accused Adeyemo Abiodun, suddenly started shaking and gradually began to collapse. I thought the owner of the company died sometime ago |

Find Out!: for your information, mothers don't give their babies teething mixture to help the teeth come out, they give it to combat the feverish conditions associated with teething. If you had a child, or actively took care of one, u wld know that teething is a very stressful period for both parents and child and drugs are usually given to relive the pains. Calling the mixture 'my pikin' ws just a marketing ploy, there are similarly named syrup out there like, 'babyrex', 'bonababe', and even 'babymycin'. Are parents meant to judge the efficacy of a drug based on the name? When my child is burning with a fever in the middle of the night, I don't care if the drug is called pakuromo, as long as it can combat the symptoms. But as a last word on this matter, parents shld note that a good baby brand of PARACETAMOL is recommended for feverish conditions, even those associated with teething. If the symptoms last more than three days or worsen, please consult your doctor! 1 Like |

We need to be careful about our judgements. Let us also pray that we never fall into the hands of people who are desperate for public attention and popularity. Barewa was Dora Akiyuli's scapegoat. Three courts threw out the case for no evidence, no single death certificate, no single parent as witness, Pfizer is only being hounded for compensation of victims nobody has been jailed even where the case proved that pfizer was guilty of harming children. We usually jugde what we don't know anything about. |

This is rubbish sentencing. The real culprits were not charged and are still free to continue their criminal acts. Producers of paracetamol in Nigeria run one risk all the time. They can be tricked into buying ethylene glycol in place of propylene glycol. Ethylene glycol used as car radiator coolant is very cheap compared to the expensive propylene glycol required in making paracetamol. Criminals sell ethylene glycol as propylene glycol and each time they succeed children normally die from the consumption of the paracetamol produced from the ethylene glycol since the end product of ethylene glycol metabolism in the body is poisonous oxalic acid. What the court has done is to punish the victims of the fraudsters who were tricked into buying cheap ethylene glycol as expensive propylene glycol. 1 Like |

mamaaustin: Thanks for the clarification, though I was under the impression that the teething mixtures are supposed to in some way influence the baby's teething. And yes, i havnt raised a child before, but i've been privileged to work at a place where I saw first hand a great deal of harm parents unknowingly cause their babies. I actually do not have any issues with the drug name per se. What i have issues with is what you repeated in your last paragraph. I dont want to turn this into a debate, but i do not think it is advisable that parents use drugs for their BABIES without seeing a doctor first, except where it is impossible to do so at that moment. Whatever drug a baby takes either for fever or anything should be prescribed by a doctor. |

Find Out!: Bro, live by the principles of your username. It is not that I am in support of the indicted company and their employees. Those group of drugs are meant to relieve the pain experienced by the babies during their teething period. Not to help them develop teeth. @ Topic, were those drugs NAFDAC approved? If yes, then I believe they should have been joined as defendants in the case. For failing to discover that consumption of the mixture was lethal. If the drugs were not approved, NAFDAC is still culpable. For failing in their duties of 'Safeguarding the Health of the Nation'. That mixture was publicly sold over the counter and could have even been bought by a little girl sent by her mum on the errand. So wherein does the safety enforcement and protection from NAFDAC lie? SON conducts mandatory inspection of manufacturing plants and industries on occasions. How does NAFDAC being a public health regulator ensure that the drugs obtained by the public (in pharmacies, chemists and dispensary) are safe for use? Do they simply wait for the manufacturer, importer or distributor agent to come and register the drug with them first (to operate on the side of the law)? I just hope that is not the case. And that this 'My Pikin' incident was an isolated case of a drug that escaped their supervision. I still think the Office of the Public defender should have joined NAFDAC as defendants in the suit. A govt agency can be sued in a case of criminal negligence. Can't it? |

Well its so sad.It wasn't actually intentional .a supplier supplied Ethylene glycol(poison) instead of propylene glycol,used in making most children syrups.the 2 molecules hav.the same physical and almost the same chemical proptis.negligencece on the side of the quality assurance manager,he trusted this long time supplier.Pharmacy is such a tough profession whr such negligence is nt allowed..such a pity |

Re: 'My Pikin' Syrup Makers Jailed, Company Closed by kemisuga(f): 9:50am On May 20, 2013 |
I heard it was the supplier of the raw materials, they use for producing "My Pikin" that went wrong. He supplied adulterated raw materials unknown to the producer. The owner of the company is late. |
