HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ Bugaboo recalled over 18,000 Giraffe high chairs on Monday, June 16 due to a fall risk when screws are not tightened properly, which may cause the legs to detach and injure children. Parents who bought the chairs before May 1 should stop using them and contact Bugaboo for a free repair kit — chairs bought after May 1 already include the kit. FOX 41
- ➤ Researchers developed a once-a-week capsule that expands into a six-armed star shape so it stays in the stomach and releases risperidone steadily for up to a week to keep schizophrenia symptoms under control. Larger phase 3 studies will follow before the FDA reviews the new treatment. FOX 41
- ➤ A study from Massachusetts General Hospital found that people with ADHD prescribed stimulants via telehealth did not have a higher risk of substance use disorder than those seen in person — although patients who only met their doctor remotely showed a sixfold increase in risk, likely due to underlying factors.
