4 March - 'Vitally important' recall for Boots Paracetamol tablets, due to packaging error

Certain Boots Paracetamol tablets are being recalled, due to a packaging error which means some packs contain inserts incorrectly labelled as aspirin.

The foil blister inside the carton states ‘Aspirin 300mg Dispersible Tablets’ instead of ‘Paracetamol 500mg Tablets’.

The Boots Company PLC and the supplier, Aspar Pharmaceuticals Limited, have confirmed the tablets in the blister packs are Paracetamol 500mg and not aspirin, and are conducting a full investigation into the issue.

The 500mg packs, which contain 16 tablets, have an item code of 81-99-922 and a batch code of 241005. The expiry date is 12/2029 and the foiled blister insert reads Boots Aspirin 300mg dispersible tablets.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said the affected packs should not be kept at home, even if the error is known, as this could lead to confusion and an incorrect dose being taken. Anyone who has purchased this product for someone else should inform them as soon as possible.

Dr Stephanie Millican, MHRA deputy director benefit risk evaluation, said: 'Patient safety is always our priority. It is vitally important that you check the packaging of your Boots Paracetamol 500mg Tablets 16s, and if the batch number is 241005, you should stop using the product and return it to a Boots store for a full refund.

'If you are unsure which pack you have purchased or have taken Boots Paracetamol 500mg Tablets and experienced any side effects, seek advice from a healthcare professional. Please report any suspected adverse reactions via the MHRA’s Yellow Card scheme.'

Boots has asked customers not to take the product and instead return it to a local Boots store for a full refund, with o or without a receipt. For more information, contact Boots customer care team on 0800 915 0004.

'The website checker and notice remain on our website for customers to use as part of our standard process.

'For additional context, the risk of injury would also require the sun canopy to be removed and the harness to be unfastened, allowing the child to fall out.

16 January - Small plastic hot glue gun sold on Amazon recalled due to electric shock risk

A small plastic hot glue gun with a wall plug, which was due to be sold via online retailers including Amazon, is being recalled due to an electric shock risk.

The plug pins of the product, which has an Amazon identifier number of X001YS4687, are too close to the periphery of the plug.

Anyone using it can receive an electric shock from accessible live parts when plugging or unplugging the plug from the socket.

Moreover, the earth pin is sheathed, so it does not contact the earth in the socket properly, providing insufficient protection against the risk of fire as it is inadequately earthed.

Imports of the product have been rejected at the border.

Beware of fake Amazon calls and emails
