The following is from Arizona Food Allergy Alliance
AFAA Advocacy Update: MYLAN EXECUTIVE SENT EMAIL TO AFAA PRESIDENT/FOUNDER SUBJECT: Mylan Specialty Response to Your Facebook Posts. Attention food allergy community .... MYLAN STANDS BY THEIR CURRENT AD 100%. They fact reference FAAN in their email. Their main reasoning is that "Avoidance of allergens that cause anaphylaxis is extremely important, but despite best intentions, studies have shown that triggers aren’t always obvious and unintended exposure to allergens can happen, putting lives at risk.", and that they are "This advertising campaign is intended to remind parents about the importance of always carrying an epinephrine auto-injector as a way to complement all their efforts to protect their children who have life-threatening allergies. The campaign is one of many educational initiatives, supported by Mylan Specialty, designed to increase understanding about how to manage life-threatening allergies (including how to minimize exposure to allergens)."
Is this what you and the general public are getting from their ad? Do you feel they are "committed to raising anaphylaxis awareness and preparedness among people directly affected by life-threatening allergies, including parents, caregivers, healthcare professionals, as well as the general public"?
If not, CARRY ON. Contact Dey/Mylan/Epi-Pen and the FDA through the information below. This ad is not appropriate for public consumption and could cost someone their life.
