    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THIS THERMOMETER IS DANGEROUSLY INACCURATE. WE PURCHASED IT TO TAKE OUR SON'S TEMP WHEN WE WERE TRAVELING AND DID NOT HAVE OUR REGULAR THERMOMETER WITH US - THIS WAS THE ONLY ONE AVAILABLE IN THE LOCAL DRUG STORE AT THAT MOMENT. OUR SON WAS HOT TO THE TOUCH, YET THE THERMOMETER REPORTED A LOW TEMP OF 98.5. WHEN WE GOT HOME THE FOLLOWING DAY, HE WAS STILL WARM, WE USED OUR REGULAR THERMOMETER AND HIS TEMP WAS 102.5. THIS THERMOMETER REPORTED 98.1. (B)(4).
