The mother of a seven-month-old prematurely born infant was given a prescription for phenobarbital, which she took to her local pharmacist. A pharmacy technician, who did not have appropriate training and education to be a pharmacy technician, dispensed a strong oral expectorant medication instead of phenobarbital. Because the pharmacist was so busy, he decided not to check the medication or consult with the mother. She gave the medication to her child for about one month to prevent seizures. Because of the incorrect medication, the infant had a serious brain injury that caused a permanent disability.
