Would you give your baby this? Mom's please read...

I feel like I already know the right answer to this (no) but I feel somewhat torn in this economic time to just get rid of something HOWEVER my son's health is my number one priority....soo...here's the question:

If you took your child to get their pictures taken (Kiddie Kandids), and forgot their newly opened container of formula there ($25) and they held it behind the counter for 2 weeks would you still use it?

My formula says it lasts 4 weeks opened. If there was some really nice lady working there that I personally knew I wouldnt mind I guess but if it was some commercialised place where they have 100 staff members poking and prodding it then I wouldnt bother even going back to get it.

i voted no too. most likely, the formula was fine. but because it wasn't a 100% thing, i would have to throw it away.

Thanks ladies, I actually trashed it this a.m.  I guess I wanted some reassurance that I wasn't being over paranoid!  

All I could think of was that terrible Tylenol thing that happened in the 80's with cyanide!

AND thank you for not making any personal attacks...like am I stupid or something!  I half expected to get at least one of those!  Nice not to have them!

No.  Your babies well being is worth more than a can of formula.

I can't say I wouldn't be a little torn because of the money involved too but I would so have to just get rid of the formula. I wouldn't be able to chance it because you never know how sick people are....I say throw it away.

Heck no! You remember when people used to stick stuff in apples they'd give out at Halloween? That was a long time ago, now only God knows what they'd do to something like that. There's so many different things that can be put in there that look exactly like baby formula, not to mention they could have put their hands in it, or I don't know. I'd definitely throw it away.
