That treasured family heirloom, that romantic ruined castle, that particular relative with a store of family history – we can probably all think of an item, a custom, a location or a person who immediately springs to mind when we think of the best of our heritage.

Epipen last 20 monthes after production date, thanks for reporting, but going back have you thought why the issue is discovered/reported nearly 17 month after the lot (expiring on may 2017) was produced?
