Paracetamol Recall
There have been a recall of Paracetamols, please be aware of the information below:
A recall of the below batches is in progress because a small number of pots from each batch have been found to contain discoloured tablets due to fungal contamination. The fungi have been identified as Penicillium citrinium and Penicillium brevicompactum. It is unlikely that any affected tablets will have got to patient level as the discolouration is noticeable on opening affected packs
