(CNN) The Food and Drug Administration urged parents Friday to not use Hyland's homeopathic teething products containing belladonna, commonly known as deadly nightshade -- a toxic substance. Homeopathic teething tablets, which have been around since the early 1900s, provide temporary relief to babies growing their first teeth. The FDA originally issued a safety alert in 2010 that recommended against Hyland's Teething Tablets based on laboratory results showing that they contained inconsistent amounts of belladonna. Since then, the agency has received more than 400 reports of adverse events linked to teething products that contain belladonna. "We are also aware of reports of 10 deaths during that time period that reference homeopathic teething products."
