National Reye's Syndrome Foundation
Executive Summary
Requests that FDA-mandated labeling for products containing aspirin be extended to all salicylate-containing products. "Too many cases of Reye's Syndrome have suspiciously been linked to one product in particular, [Procter & Gamble's] Pepto-Bismol, to account for it being coincidental," Chicago Chapter President Carolyn Jender maintained in a recent letter to FDA. The foundation believes that 20%-25% of Reye's Syndrome reported cases are the result of salicylate-containing products.
