Shimon (pseudonym), the father of the baby who consumed fruit puree that contained very strong sedatives, said this morning (Tuesday) in an interview with Reshet B that he and his family are still waiting for confirmation from the Health Ministry that the issue has been investigated - because it is a life-threatening situation for small children: "The doctors said that if a small child consumes something like that, in such a quantity, it is death.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday, Kan News reported that three toddlers from Jerusalem - Shimon's daughter and the children of his neighbors - were hospitalized after traces of benzodiazepines were found in their blood - sedatives and anesthetists found in anti-anxiety medications for adults, such as Clonazepam and Valium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, his little son was hospitalized just to be on the safe side: "At first they thought it was a gas leak or something like that. So that's why MDA recommended that he be hospitalized too, but he never had any symptoms. They checked, all the tests were normal, thank God.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""The girl was playing with her neighbor, and the neighbor was holding a can of applesauce with a red wrapper," Shimon described. "My wife noticed that he was giving her a spoonful or two, and after about five, six minutes, I don't remember exactly, my neighbors' children showed signs - the little girl couldn't hold her head up and the son collapsed, so they immediately took him to MDA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""My wife didn't notice anything about anyone. 20 minutes later she wanted to go home, she suddenly saw my daughter falling. She walks for two minutes, walks for a few seconds and falls, and also blurred. So we called the MDA again, who recommended evacuating us, and then he also said to evacuate the son, because they didn't know what it was. First they evacuated everyone, they thought maybe it was a gas leak, maybe something else.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is suspected that the toddlers consumed various types of fruit purees from the 'Prinuk' company, which were purchased at branches of the 'Zol Ve Gadol' chain in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should be noted that the products were purchased as individual products and not as a package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shimon noted that they do not usually consume the paste: "I have another company, I don't know what I consume each time. But what I do, once again I only say it in terms of maybe because it really is maybe, it's doubtful. Someone told me to throw it away, I said don't throw it away, wait for clarification from the Ministry of Health.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shimon: "My daughter, because she had just a little bit, the test came out borderline negative, so thank God the day after the hospitalization she was already eating normally. She was still blurry. The neighbors' children were in a really terrible state, so they only came back today, it took a while for them to recover.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shimon said that he contacted the police after returning home from his daughter's hospitalization: "I said, 'Listen, the doctors said that if a small child consumes something like this, in such a quantity, it's death.' The police said, 'This has nothing to do with us,' call the Ministry of Health.' I told them that it was wrong, that they should check it out. After that, I called MDA, United Hatzalah, and they told me the same thing: 'This doesn't belong to them, this has nothing to do with them.'.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""I waited for Sunday and called the Ministry of Health, and they told me they didn't know about such a story. I told them: My pages say that the information was reported to the Ministry of Health and I asked how they didn't know about it, so they said they would check. I told them: 'I just want to inform, I have it on a recording, I just want to inform. A little child consumes this - it's death, and you know, and I informed you, and if something happens, it's your responsibility.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shimon made it clear that he and his family are far from considering a lawsuit against the manufacturer: "I just want to know first that the truth has come out, what happened, who did it. As the father of a child, of a girl, I want to know that everything is in order. I'll tell you more than that, the police called me today, I need to come to the investigation. My wife and I arrived, a two-hour investigation on suspicion of abusing the helpless. I told them - 'I've been chasing you for five days to check this out, I'll bring you the crushed up to your hands in a hospital. Isn't it a waste of my time and yours? Go check it out, I brought you the crushed up to your hands in a hospital, I made sure it would reach you on Thursday night, we're here on Monday. Don't you have any answers?'.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""Just to clarify that it's still in doubt," Shimon clarified. "We don't want to harm anyone, God forbid, it's just a doubt and we're waiting for answers. We brought this to the Ministry of Health on Thursday already, and we're waiting for answers.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Randy Company, which markets 'Prinuk' products, said in response to the 'Kan News' publication yesterday: "The company's products have been sold in all marketing chains for over 20 years, and the company is committed to the health of babies. These are leading, high-quality products, which are tested by a certified laboratory at the manufacturing plant, and tested again upon entry into the country by the Ministry of Health.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""Tests conducted at the manufacturing plant indicate that there is no concern about the presence of foreign substances in the products, and for safety reasons, product samples were also sent to the Ministry of Health for testing. An examination conducted by the Ministry of Health indicates that this is an isolated case in Jerusalem, and in light of the fact that the product is sold at hundreds of points across the country, we estimate that there may have been external interference with the product, and the issue is under investigation by the Ministry of Health with enforcement agencies.".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u05e9\u05de\u05e2\u05d5\u05df (\u05e9\u05dd \u05d1\u05d3\u05d5\u05d9), \u05d0\u05d1\u05d9\u05d4 \u05e9\u05dc \u05d4\u05ea\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05e7\u05ea \u05e9\u05e6\u05e8\u05db\u05d4 \u05de\u05d7\u05d9\u05ea \u05e4\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05ea \u05e9\u05db\u05dc\u05dc\u05d4 \u05d7\u05d5\u05de\u05e8\u05d9 \u05d4\u05e8\u05d2\u05e2\u05d4 \u05d7\u05d6\u05e7\u05d9\u05dd \u05de\u05d0\u05d5\u05d3, \u05d0\u05de\u05e8 \u05d4\u05d1\u05d5\u05e7\u05e8 (\u05e9\u05dc\u05d9\u05e9\u05d9) \u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05d0\u05d9\u05d5\u05df \u05e8\u05e9\u05ea \u05d1' \u05db\u05d9 \u05d4\u05d5\u05d0 \u05d5\u05de\u05e9\u05e4\u05d7\u05ea\u05d5 \u05e2\u05d3\u05d9\u05d9\u05df \u05de\u05d7\u05db\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05d0\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05e8 \u05de\u05de\u05e9\u05e8\u05d3 \u05d4\u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05d0\u05d5\u05ea \u05e9\u05d4\u05e0\u05d5\u05e9\u05d0 \u05e0\u05d1\u05d3\u05e7 - \u05de\u05e9\u05d5\u05dd \u05e9\u05de\u05d3\u05d5\u05d1\u05e8 \u05d1\u05e1\u05db\u05e0\u05ea \u05d7\u05d9\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05d9\u05dc\u05d3\u05d9\u05dd \u05e7\u05d8\u05e0\u05d9\u05dd: \"\u05d4\u05e8\u05d5\u05e4\u05d0\u05d9\u05dd \u05d0\u05de\u05e8\u05d5 \u05e9\u05d0\u05dd \u05d9\u05dc\u05d3 \u05e7\u05d8\u05df \u05e6\u05d5\u05e8\u05da \u05db\u05d6\u05d4 \u05d3\u05d1\u05e8, \u05db\u05d6\u05d0\u05ea \u05db\u05de\u05d5\u05ea, \u05d6\u05d4 \u05de\u05d5\u05d5\u05ea\". \u05d0\u05ea\u05de\u05d5\u05dc \u05d3\u05d5\u05d5\u05d7 \u05d1'\u05db\u05d0\u05df \u05d7\u05d3\u05e9\u05d5\u05ea' \u05db\u05d9 \u05e9\u05dc\u05d5\u05e9\u05d4 […]","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":1045993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[96],"tags":[65541],"class_list":["post-1055361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-96","tag-65541"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
