Closed Mandatory pregnancy warnings on all alcohol containers

Closed on

The Government should require all alcohol containers to be labelled to inform women of the dangers of consuming alcohol during pregnancy. Cigarettes are labelled so that people know the dangers of smoking, eg cancer, COPD, etc.

Too many children suffer from foetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), this could have been avoided if more women were aware of the risks. FASD sufferers can struggle with everyday life. It can cause a range of conditions including lifelong learning disabilities, often requiring a specialist school if they can't cope in mainstream school. There needs to be more information for women so this doesn't happen to more innocent children. I don't want children to face this struggle.
