Executive Summary
FDA indicates that it will "publish a proposal in the near future" that will address the issue of accidental pediatric ingestion of iron-containing drugs or supplements. The agency announced its intention in a letter responding to a petition on accidental iron ingestions submitted by the American Association of Poison Control Centers in 1991.
