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.

Popular baby product urgently recalled horror find inside bottle
A popular baby teething powder has been recalled over fears that glass fragments could be found inside the bottles. Weleda Australia Pty Ltd is recalling one batch of the Weleda Baby Teething Powder 60g, after a person complained there was a fragment of glass inside the bottle. It's believed a fault during the packaging process on the batch (B) 231302 may have caused some glass fragments to spill into other bottles from the same batch. 'If glass fragments are present in the powder and applied to an infant's gums, they could cause discomfort, pain or minor injury,' the Therapeutic Goods of Australia recall read. 'In more serious cases, there is a risk of choking or internal injury, including damage to the gastrointestinal tract, which may require urgent medical attention.' No other batches have been affected by the recall. The powder is available for purchase online and in-store at chemists across the country, including Priceline and Chemist Warehouse. Customers have been urged to stop using the product immediately and return the item to the store where they bought it for a replacement or refund. Alternatively, customers can contact Weleda Australia directly via email assist@ or phone 1300 551 454
