FOX 29's Eddie Kadhim spoke to numerous parents who are very concerned after finding the recalled products in their pantries.
Matthew Smale is worried about finding formula for his six-month-old going forward. He showed FOX 29 one of the six recalled formula cans his family has been using.
It didn't take long for the impact to hit his home. "Watery diapers and she started throwing up this morning," Smale said. "We called the pediatrician and she told us there is a stomach bug going around as well, so they weren't too concerned about it." He and other parents are monitoring their children closely after the recall was linked to blood infections and other serious complications by the FDA.
