FDA posted: Updates on angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) recalls
FDA alerts patients and healthcare professionals to ScieGen’s irbesatran recall due to NDEA
Certain irbesartan products labeled as Westminster Pharmaceuticals Inc. and GSMS Inc. recalled
Update [10/30/2018] FDA is alerting patients and health care professionals to ScieGen’s voluntary recall of certain lots of irbesartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), because they contain N-Nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), a known animal and suspected human carcinogen (causes cancer). FDA laboratory testing confirmed NDEA in some lots of ScieGen’s irbesartan. ScieGen’s irbesartan products are labeled as Westminster Pharmaceuticals and Golden State Medical Supply, Inc. (GSMS). See the list of irbesartan products under recall. This is the first non-valsartan drug product the agency has found to contain the NDEA impurity.
ScieGen’s recall affects about 1 percent of the irbesartan drug products in the U.S. market.

FDA Press Announcement: FDA takes action to stop use of lead acetate in hair dyes
For Immediate Release
October 30, 2018
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today took action to remove lead acetate in hair coloring products given potential safety concerns about lead exposure from these products.
“Today’s action is part of our commitment to protect Americans by reducing exposure to toxic elements and builds upon federal efforts to reduce exposure to lead,” said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D.
Lead exposure can have serious adverse effects on human health, including for children who may be particularly vulnerable.
This action is based on new scientific data that show there is no longer a reasonable certainty that there is no harm from the use of lead acetate as a color additive.

From Pat Caldwell: No word from Timberland Regional Library since announcing upcoming library closures, possibly kiosks. Having your books delivered to the Toledo Kiosk can help keep this convenience onsite, as TRL does track how much use our kiosk gets.
Reminder: Save your garden seeds for the Spring Seed Swap Event. Your locally harvested garden beauties, shared around, bring diversity and proven winners.
Seed Library has several varieties of veggies that plant now & winter over for early results.
Early Notice: December 1st (Walk and Knock Weekend) the Library will be having a Bake and Book Sale, Santa will be visiting from 1 - 2 PM, and Alice McKnight and her ukulele group will be on hand.
Reminder2: New Wednesday hours begin November, open until 6 PM. Thursday and Saturdays still open until 5 PM.
Say Hi to Charlie, the friendly face of Toledo Community Library.
