Replying to @jonfhoffman
Also, concerned about recent epipen advisories. The blue top issue and the sticking in the tubes point to more manufacturing issues.

As we continue to work together to get through the #COVID19 crisis, Congress is also looking at other important legislative issues. We have an opportunity to get the FASTER Act through Congress – help us get it on the President’s desk in 2020. bit.ly/39BvvIo

Traveling with severe allergies can be difficult, but without access to proper medication, it can also be deadly. I'm calling on @FAANews to ensure the safety of passengers with severe allergies by requiring epinephrine auto-injectors on more flights. duckworth.senate.gov/news/pr…

#ICYMI A few moments ago, FARE Advocate and #FoodAllergy parent, Talia Day, spoke on the FASTER Act (H.R. 2117). @RepAnnaEshoo: “Thank you for your powerful testimony.” – at Washington, DC

No parent should be burdened with the fear that their child might not come home but for #foodallergy parents, their reality is just that – every single day. By passing the FASTER Act (H.R. 2117), we will be able to help ensure the safety of those living with food allergies. – at Washington, DC
This is especially poignant because efforts to pass stock epinephrine legislation that might have saved this father of three failed in the past. We wish @MBCarozzaSenate success in her efforts. snacksafely.com/2020/01/stat… #foodallergy

Some good news on #FASTERact. Help @FoodAllergy move it forward here: foodallergy.org/couragesignu…
Thank you to @RepTomReed, @RepJoshG, and the entire Problem Solvers Caucus for endorsing H.R. 2117 - the #FASTERAct. This bipartisan group of Congress members recognizes the need for new labeling laws and new research on #foodallergies. foodallergy.org/about/media-…

We cannot thank @RepDebDingell enough for co-sponsoring H.R. 2117, the FASTER Act. Identifying new resources for the #foodallergy community and adding sesame to the list of major food allergens is a huge help for the 32 million Americans currently living with food allergies.

Today is #GivingTuesday! As you consider how to give back today, consider the 32 million Americans with #foodallergies who deserve to be heard, respected, and safe. foodallergy.org/giving-tuesd…
Thank you, @RepFredUpton for co-sponsoring the FASTER Act. Including sesame as a major food allergen and allocating additional resources to help with research would benefit the food allergy community nationwide.

“Avoidance and epinephrine isn't a treatment for food allergy... I’m proud to have authored the FASTER Act to get us the data we need to accelerate treatment research." - Rep. @DorisMatsui actionsprout.io/482E28

Can you count on lifesaving #epinephrine being on #airline medical kit? Maybe NOT. I examine the drug exemption @SenDuckworth @SenSchumer discovery-What @FAANews has power to do NOW & why this is public safety issue beyond #foodallergy #travel #airtravel allergicliving.com/wp-conten…
