Inconsistent and inaccurate readingsApril 6, 2008 A. Quan(Sacramento, CA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I first bought and used this thermometer, it worked the way it was supposed to work. About 4 months after, I tried to use this again because my 9-mo old baby had a fever, and it first read 96.1F ... then I redo it again thinking maybe I didn't do it correctly, and it then read 90.7F. I KNOW the readings were wrong because my baby was burning up! Reading the instructions again and redoing didn't help. So I had my spouse goto Walgreens (at 11:30p) and picked up a Vicks Pro-Style thermometer for $17 -- at least $10 less than this piece of junk!! btw, the Vicks read 101.3F. If I could give a negative star for this American Red Cross product, I gladly would!
We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
