Boots has issued an urgent recall of its Paracetamol 500mg tablets due to a packaging error that poses a significant health risk

An investigation is under way after a mistake means people might be taking incorrect medication which could be 'dangerous'

The pharmacy chain is asking customers to return packs of 500-milligram paracetamol tablets because a labelling error incorrectly states they are aspirin. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) issued the medicines recall alert due to a packaging error where the foil blister inside the carton incorrectly states ‘Aspirin 300mg Dispersible Tablets’ instead of ‘Paracetamol 500mg Tablets’.

Highstreet retailer Boots is recalling medicine after it contains incorrect packaging. The store is calling for customers to return their own brand paracetamol. The recall comes after the packaging inside the box mislabels the product as aspirin.

It is feared the drug, which costs under £1, has been packaged incorrectly, labelling it as aspirin. It is unclear whether it contains aspirin or if it was labelled incorrectly.
