！！！！科克曼的液体锌和VC要回收！！！！！

快乐小鱼

     下午接到巫华梅电话，科克曼通知编号389的VC和编号387的锌需要回收。有在吃这二种补充剂的孩子，请马上停。至于怎么处理，还需等待科克曼通知。如果大家还想了解详细情况，可电邮巫华梅。

是的,我们今天也收到了巫华梅的通知,说是这次的锌里面含锑超高,科克曼会尽快给客户换货.

我也接到巫华梅的电话了，但不知道以前还有留存的不同批次的维C还能不能吃（现已停吃了）？另外，很想知道此次超标收回的东西会不会对小孩有什么特不好的影响？我虽已通过邮箱给巫华梅询问此类的问题，但没这么快收到回复，不知有没有哪些好心人先知道答案的，恳请知情的好心人告知，急！

回收的不止这两样，下面是Kirkman首页上的公告：

NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS:

Jan. 7, 2010

Dear Kirkman Customer and Distributor,

It has come to Kirkman’s attention, that a raw material vendor has supplied Kirkman with stevia that has a higher content of antimony than may be acceptable for our special needs customers.

The problem is limited to only two lots of stevia, which were used in several Kirkman® products.  These products affected by the high antimony levels are:

1.    Zinc Liquid - - Product # 387/8 and 387/16   
2.    Super Nu-Thera w/o A and D - - Product # 447/454
3.    DMAE 50 mg. Chewable - - Product # 489/90
4.    Super Nu-Thera Powder Orange - - Product # 410/454
5.    B Complex Powder Pro Support - - Product #399/7   
6.    TMG w/Folinic and B-12 Powder - - Product #413/4 and 413/8
7.    Chewable Vitamin C Tablets - - Product #389/100 and 389/250
8.    Trial sizes of the above seven products

You should stop using these products, destroy them and request a credit or replacement from Kirkman®.  Please call our customer service department to make this request.

Raw material suppliers or nutraceutical companies are not required to test for antimony levels, so Kirkman® was not aware of this problem until two of our physician customers brought the issue to our attention as a result of their metal testing.   We immediately had our laboratory research the issue.  They quickly isolated the problem to two specific lots of stevia leaf extract. Kirkman® immediately stopped using the affected stevia and stopped shipping products that tested out at high antimony levels.

So that this situation does not reoccur, we have implemented a new policy that every raw material we use in our products will be tested for antimony.

Kirkman® apologizes for any inconvenience we may have caused because of this issue.  We have instituted this voluntary action regarding the suspect products because we feel it’s the right thing to do.  Kirkman® will not compromise on the quality standards we have been known for throughout our more than 60 years of business.

Sincerely,
Larry Newman
COO Technical and Regulatory Affairs

孩子现在吃的东西基本上都是科克曼的，能不能有人来详细的说明一下，只有以上批次的不能吃吗，吃过的对孩子有什么影响，别的质量能不能保证呀？唉，这样的事情真是让人防不胜防。有收到巫华梅回信的家长帮忙把具体的情况发一下，谢谢了！

给Kirkman客人的重要通知                            2010年1月7日

亲爱的Kirkman用户，

Kirkman提请大家注意，一家原材料卖主提供给Kirkman的甜菊(stevia)锑含量较高，可能是我们特殊需要的客人不能接受的。

有问题的甜菊只有两个批次被用于Kirkman几个产品之中。这些受高锑(antimony)含量影响的产品有：
1. 液体锌 – 代码 387/8和387/16
2. Super Nu-Thera 不含维生素A,D – 代码 447/454
3. DMAE 50mg咀嚼片 – 代码 489/90
4. Super Nu-Thera 橙味粉剂 – 代码 410/454
5. 复合维生素B加强剂粉剂 – 代码 399/7
6. TMG含亚叶酸与B12粉剂 – 代码 413/4 和413/8
7. 维生素C片剂 – 代码 389/100 和389/250
8. 及上述这7种产品的试用装

请立即停用上述产品，并将之消毁。您可要求Kirkman退款或换货，请与我们的客服部门联系。

锑含量的检测并不在原料供货商或营养品公司的要求范围之内，所以Kirkman也没有意识到这个问题，直至有两位医生客人自己作了金属检测发现问题才引起我们的注意。我们的实验室立即着手研究、迅速分离出两个问题批次的甜菊叶精华。Kirkman立刻停用受影响的甜菊，并停止发货被检测出锑含量高的产品。

这种情况将不会再发生，我们已经开始执行一项新的政策，即：应用于我们产品中的每一种原料将作锑检测。

对于因此一问题引起的任何不便，Kirkman深感抱歉。我们主动发布怀疑有问题的产品，我们觉得这么做是正确的。Kirkman决不敢损害她经营了60多年薄有名气的质量标准。

您诚挚的
Larry Newman
Kirkman集团技术与法规COO

原材料来源于中国，这件事kirkman被美国用户骂完了，很多人发誓不再用带有任何中国源材料生产的药品保健品。

锑含量过高对身体有何影响？？？谁知道啊？网上好像很少这样的信息。

刚查了一下，大致如下：锑是重金属的一种。少量的锑就会让人产生不适的感觉，如果大量吸收，则可能引起剧烈呕吐甚至导致死亡。尽管大多数瓶装矿泉水中锑的含量符合健康标准，但这些矿泉水被储存3个月以后，其锑含量就会超过正常含量的数倍，进而对人体健康构成潜在威胁。科学表明，孕妇长期饮用砷、锑、氰化物超标的水会影响胎儿的正常发育。

瓶装矿泉水储存3个月以上，特别是在气温较高条件下，易发生锑超标，对人体健康造成潜在威胁。

锑为银白色光泽金属，具有较好的化学稳定性。锑中毒可引起化学性肺炎、中毒性心肌炎、肝脏损害等等。

请问大家：巫华梅的邮箱和电话，我给她发了邮件为何没回复？

晶晶在家

借帖问一下
怎么能确定给孩子补充什么维生素呢？比如看有的家长给补锌+VC
有的是补DMG
是需要家长自己学习然后判断，再给 巫华梅 联系购买吗？
