Thanks for the information, Larisa.
I would love to buy this for my daughter, and will... as soon as she outgrows her milk allergy (which is very possible in the near future... the levels have dropped drastically).

I asked about the school because I find it bizarre that our school only requests that the children in the class of the peanut allergic child not bring peanut products, they don't request it of the whole school!

Gale, I agree with you. (I usually do. You're spot on.)
I wish Jakks would issue a press release clarifying or simply remove the incorrectly labeled packages. I noticed a celiac board complaining about the confusing labels too.

I appreciate the post by Larisa. But I think it's highly irresponsible of Jakks to even have these incorrectly labeled boxes on the market. It does not instill confidence in their companies.

This is definitely a stumper...I think that most of the time when the SPT and the RAST conflict, it's a situation like lj described (i.e. SPT+/RAST-)
I would absolutely insist they run everything again.

Hi,
As you could all safely assume, I am new here because I have had a child diagnosed with a peanut allergy. He is nearly four years old. We have thought for two years that he is allergic, and have avoided peanuts (he had a peanut butter cup

Delta Airlines made this choice some years back -- they (among others) were powerful in their lobbying against FAA rules or Fed legislation that would bar them from serving peanuts on board. One way many of us deal with this is to vote with our wall
