Good morning:

Robert F Kennedy signed on to the letter this morning.

Thank you to everyone who signed on and all who helped gather support.  We hope this will result in press on the issue and harmonized messaging from the federal agencies in the future.

Dr. Ostroff:

Apparently we had the incorrect email address for you as the email I sent yesterday bounced so hopefully you receive this one.

However, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. responded this morning that he wanted to be signed on to the letter as well so the attached letter includes his name as an individual signer so this version is the final.

Please know that many more people wanted to sign on but had long approval processes and could not do so by today but would support the recommendations.

Thank you again,

Heidi

Dr. Ostroff:



Attached is a letter signed by more than 85 concerned entities and citizens calling on the United States Food and Drug Administration to end its recommendation that certain medications be disposed by flushing, and to clarify that secure medicine take-back programs provide the best disposal method for leftover household medications.  This effort took months and a lot of people put significant thought into drafting the letter.



We appreciate your time in advance and look forward to your response.



Thank you,



Heidi Sanborn
