A US Congressman Has Made It His Mission To Clean Up The Toxic Baby Food Industry

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill. expects the FDA and the baby food industry to take action immediately to rid baby food and rice cereal of toxic heavy metals

Saturday, November 20, 2021 - A Congressional report has revealed that four companies have been producing baby food that contains dangerously high levels of heavy metals that could cause brain damage in children that eat them. The brands Beech-Nut, HappyBABY, Earth's Best Organic, and Gerber have been tested by the FDA and found to contain levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury that permanently and irreversibly impair normal neurological development. There are currently no warning labels on any of the aforementioned brands even though the companies may have known of heavy metal contamination for decades. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also failed to regulate the baby food industry to prevent heavy metal contamination, exposing children to a lifetime of disease and disability. Hundreds of parents with developmentally handicapped children that eat Beech-Nut, HappyBABY, Earth's Best Organic, and Gerber baby food have hired a toxic baby food lawyer ] and filed suit seeking lump-sum monetary damages. It is estimated that millions of American children may now have lower IQs and poor academic performance, attention deficit disorder (ADHD), autism, and other neurological problems allegedly as a result of the negligence of baby food companies. Unfortunately, as the FDA and others in government drag their feet, it is up to the parents of the injured children to hold these companies accountable for the severe injuries they may have caused to our children. Parents of developmentally challenged children should set up a no-cost, no-obligation interview with a to see if they qualify to file a claim. If they do, the attorney will guide you every step of the way to filing a lawsuit.

Organizations concerned with the health and well-being of children are angry that the Food and Drug Administration has not taken action in the nine months since the scathing Congressional reports uncovered heavy metal in baby food as was assumed by parents and others. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., chair of the House Oversight Committee�s Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, himself a father of three that fed his children baby food for years, has taken up the matter and intended to force the Food and Drug Administration to take action. According to 13Wham.com News, "What I was hoping after we released the initial report was that some of them would actually step forward and do the right thing, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi D-Ill. told Spotlight on America. But unfortunately, some of them have doubled down and done the opposite." According to 13Wham, Mr. Krishnamoorthi made it his top priority to clean up the baby food industry when his congressional committee found "the presence of neurotoxic heavy metals, known to pose a danger to developing brains, in baby food. his congressional committee found out some of the most popular brands of baby food, and items like rice cereal, contain toxic metals like cadmium, arsenic, and lead, cleaning up the industry went to the top of his to-do list."
