Boots has issued an urgent recall notice on paracetamol tablets due to a “packaging error”.
It comes after 500mg packs of the pain relief from the high street pharmacy chain were incorrectly labelled as Boots Aspirin 300mg dispersible tablets in the foiled blister insert.
The 16-tablet packs with an expiry date of December 2029 are among the products affected, with a batch number of 241005 which can be found on the bottom of the box.

Boots said the supplier is conducting a full investigation, including on the tablet. It's urging people not to take the product and return it to a Boots store for a full refund.
A statement read: “If you have bought the Boots paracetamol 500mg tablets 16s item code 81-99-922 as detailed above, please return the product to your local Boots store for a full refund with or without a receipt.
“For more information please contact Boots customer care team on 0800 915 0004.”
