Durezol vs. Durasal: FDA Warns of Drug Name
Mix-Up
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is telling consumers to watch out
for any potential mix-up between prescription eye drops and a common
wart-removing medication that bear similar names.
According to a warning letter issued this week from the agency, at
least one patient has been seriously injured after being given a bottle of
the wart remedy Durasal instead of the eye drops called Durezol. And there
have been other reports of confusion between the two similarly named but
drastically different drugs.
Health care practitioners have also complained to the agency about the
similarity between the two drug names, the FDA said.
Although the FDA routinely screens drug names as part of its approval
process, the wart remover Durasal was never required to go through the
approval process. According to ABC News, the label on the
medication does include the warning “NOT FOR USE IN EYES.”
“Health care professionals and patients are encouraged to scrutinize
packaging and labeling information carefully,” the FDA said.
Elorac Inc., the Illinois-based distributor of Durasal, has not yet
responded to inquiries from the FDA regarding the removal of the product
from the marketplace or its recall, the agency said.

Los Angeles Voters to Decide on Condoms in Sex
Films
Los Angeles residents will have an opportunity during the June
presidential primaries to cast a vote on another issue: whether the use
of condoms should be mandatory for actors in the area’s sex film
industry.
According to The New York Times, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation
has long been pushing lawmakers to enact such legislation, which would
also include fees for inspections aimed at ensuring compliance. The group
managed to collect more than 70,000 signatures, many more than were needed
to get the measure onto the ballot.
Still, legal hurdles remain, the Times said, with Los Angeles
city attorney Carmen Trutanich filing court papers saying that only the
state of California would have the authority to adopt the measure. And
pornography industry businessman Steven Hirsch, founder of Vivid
Entertainment, called such laws “unrealistic.”
“People will just film elsewhere and take the jobs with them,” he told
the Times. “And what are they going to do, have condom police out
and about patrolling the set?”

Build-A-Bear recalls Colorful Hearts Bears for
Possible Choking Hazard
A voluntary recall has been issued for a type of teddy bear that was
sold at thousands of Build-A-Bear stores across the United States this
year, because the eyes could fall off and pose a choking risk to
children.
The bears, known as Colorful Hearts Teddy Bears, were sold at 284,000
locations in both the United States and Canada, the St. Louis-based
company said in a news release on Thursday. The recall was first issued
right before Christmas by Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc., the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission and Health Canada. No injuries involving this
product have been reported, the company said Thursday.
According to the Build-A-Bear website, certain production runs used
substandard fabric that could tear around the stuffed bear’s eyes.
Anyone who bought this bear between April and December should stop
letting their children play with the bears immediately, the company said.
They can return the bears at any Build-A-Bear store and receive a coupon
for any other stuffed bear that is available.
This stuffed animal is roughly 15 inches tall and has black plastic
eyes and multi-colored hearts all over its body.
For more information, consumers can call the firm toll-free at (866)
236-5683 between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, on Saturday
between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. and on Sunday between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
