Beware of produce labels

The little labels on fruit may not just be annoying, but dangerous too.

For more than a year, six-year old Josie Dressendorfer of Austin, Texas, had a chronic cough.

Her parents had no idea what was wrong with her.

Even doctors were puzzled. They gave Josie asthma medications, thinking that would help.

But the cough kept coming back.

Finally, surgery was performed on the little girl. That's when doctors discovered Josie had inhaled a produce label while eating an apple.
