Parents in Spain whose babies and toddlers developed abnormal body hair plan to sue a company that put a hair loss treatment into containers meant for a medicine, a mother of one of the children said Saturday.
At least 20 children, ranging from newborns to 2-year-olds, have been affected, Spain's Health Ministry has said. The mother of one of the children, a 10-month old baby told The Associated Press that families were preparing to file a joint lawsuit against Farma-Química Sur. By early April, Uriel had hair covering almost all his body except for the abdomen and parts of his hands and feet. She questioned why the first concerns were reported in April but authorities didn't recall the medicine until July.The AP spoke to at least two other families in southern Spain who were to take legal action.
