@nursefrombirth Wow! This is quite a list. I looked at some products and the only storage info indicates it should be stored between 68 and 77 degrees F. I would guess that is a tall order for big warehouses in the south, or really anywhere. What will happen if they are stored at 100 degrees? or 50? How about in people's homes? or in delivery trucks? I'm just curious as to how these were stored that is so alarming.
@JusDucky Great question. I don't have the answer to that but I know one thing is related to the effectiveness of the product when not stored at the proper temp. Other than that, I'll let you know if I find out more. 🤔
