CLASS 2 RECALL - TESCO FLU-MAX ALL IN ONE CHESTY COUGH & COLD POWDER FOR ORAL SOLUTION (GSL)

Perrigo are recalling the below batches due to an error on the sachet contained within the outer carton. The sachet artwork incorrectly states that children aged 12 years and over can take 4 sachets containing 1000mg of paracetamol (i.e. 4 doses over a 24 hour period), whereas the carton, PIL and SmPC state that the product is not to be given to the under 16s. The sachets dosage instructions are those which were in use prior to the paediatric paracetamol posology update implemented by the MHRA
