Boots recalls cough and cold medicines

[Northerner]

Pharmacy giant Boots is recalling tens of thousands of bottles of cough and cold medicines over fears that plastic might have got into the liquid.

As a precautionary measure Boots is asking UK shoppers to return any of five of its branded medicines that were purchased since September.

This includes a strawberry flavoured suspension of oral ibuprofen for infants older than three months.

People with questions can telephone the Boots Customer Care on 0800 915 0004.

The medicines being recalled are:

Boots Pharmaceuticals Chesty Cough Relief 100mg/5ml Oral Solution
Boots Pharmaceuticals Dry Cough Relief Oral Solution
Boots Pharmaceuticals Mucus Cough Relief 100mg/5ml Oral Solution
Boots Pharmaceuticals Paracetamol 6 years Plus 250mg/5ml Oral Solution 200ml
Boots Pharmaceuticals Ibuprofen 3 Months plus 100mg/5ml Oral suspension Strawberry flavour
Customers will be offered a refund.
