No one experiencing an allergic reaction should have to hope someone on board has an Epi-Pen to spare. All flights should just have the life-saving treatment you need. The FAA must reverse course and require epinephrine in every emergency medical kit on every flight. Lives could depend on it.

Fourth doll is an African American Barbie in a wheelchair that has pink accents. She has a large black afro, gold hoop earrings, and a blue romper dress with rainbow hearts on it.Shows 3 Barbies up close on the boat posing--behind the three Barbies, is a railing.
