Urgent recall for baby teething product over 'possible presence of glass pieces'
An urgent warning has been issued to Irish parents after a popular baby teething product was recalled over safety fears. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) announced this week that a batch of Weleda Baby Teething Powder is being pulled from shelves due to 'the possible presence of glass pieces'. The product helps to calm and soothe swollen, painful red gums for babies and children suffering from the symptoms of teething. However, a specific batch of Weleda Baby Teething Powder is now being recalled due to its potential to cause serious harm if consumed, as it could contain glass fragments. The implicated batch of Weleda Baby Teething Powder has a pack size of 60g, a batch code of 231302, and expiry date of 11/26. Retailers have been requested to remove the implicated batch from sale and display recall notices at point-of-sale. Wholesalers/distributors have also been told to contact their affected customers and recall the implicated batch and provide a point-of-sale recall notice to their retail customers. Parents have also been urged "not to administer the implicated batch to infants or children". The product is being recalled globally, as a similar notice was given to consumers in Australia two weeks ago. According to reports, a glass fragment was found in one bottle which is thought to be the result of a mistake in the packaging process. Meanwhile, a separate recall notice has been issued for a popular baby cap due to choking fears, with hundreds of affected products purchased in Ireland. Poundland UK, which trades as Dealz in the Republic of Ireland, issued a recall of its Pepco Baby Frotte Cap Blue product. Ireland's Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) highlighted the recall on its website this week, revealing that a risk of choking has been identified with the product. According to the CCPC, the button on the cap may detach from the garment, resulting in a small part that could easily be placed by a child in their mouth and subsequently swallowed, which could cause the child to choke.
