Exactly. When the consequences of even a single dose while pregnant are this severe for your newborn - and completely preventable by just not taking this medication - I want there to be labels everywhere possible, even the tablets themselves.
There should be no chance of anyone taking this without knowing the potential consequences, not after the needless suffering many mothers went through for this to be found out.
