- The affected products can be identified by batch number 241005, with an expiry date of December 2029.
- Customers are advised to stop using the product immediately and return it to any Boots store for a full refund, with or without a receipt.
- The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has emphasized the importance of returning the product to prevent potential dosing errors or confusion.
