Aptamil Multigrain Banana & Berry Baby Cereal 200g

Item code:  87-93-727

Bar Code – 5051594008342


Danone is recalling one batch of Aptamil Multigrain Banana and Berry cereal 7+ months (200g) with a best before date of 07.07.21. No other batches of this product or any other Aptamil products are affected.
We are recalling these products as a precaution because some have been found to contain small pieces of the blue plastic material used to make the packaging. We are therefore asking parents not to feed Aptamil Multigrain Banana and Berry cereal with this best before date to their babies.
The blue plastic is clearly visible in contrast to the cereal. If parents have fed their baby from one of the packs without noticing any pieces, it is very likely that the pack was not affected.
Nothing is more important to us than the quality of our products. We are sorry that this happened and would like to reassure you that this is an isolated incident linked to an equipment fault at our factory, which has now been resolved. Our factories maintain strict European and internationally-recognised standards, are regularly audited and meet all relevant legislation. We regret that this batch does not meet our usual standards and we have already taken action to reinforce our quality procedures.

This product is only sold within the UK and Republic of Ireland

What should you do?

If you have purchased Aptamil Multigrain Banana & Berry Baby Cereal  with a best before date of 7th July 2021, please return it back to the store where they were purchased for a refund. Upon receipt of documentation of these returns, we will reimburse the cost of goods to you.

The pumps themselves are not affected, only the detachable plugs.

As a precautionary measure, Medela asks customers to comply with the following:

1.    While removing an affected power supply adapter from the socket, please remove the plug slowly and deliberately, apply as little force as possible, and handle the whole adapter with utmost attention and caution. If you apply a certain level of force, an affected detachable power plug might break apart.

2.    If the detachable power plug breaks, turn off the power source before removing it from the wall. Remove the detachable power plug from the power socket and do not use it before a replacement is sent to you.

3.    You may use the breast pumps Swing and Swing Maxi with batteries.

If you have an affected plug, please contact Medela immediately. They will send you a free plug replacement as soon as possible. Please keep the power supply base, which is not affected.

Cow & Gate Sweet Squash and Chicken 200g From 7 months+

Item code: 39 97 596

Batches with expiry dates: 01.07.16, 22.07.16, 21.08.16, 10.09.16

Due to a labelling error the manufacturer is withdrawing from sale the four batches of this baby food with the expiry dates shown above.

The jar incorrectly displays ‘no added egg' and ‘gluten free' in a tick box although both egg and wheat are correctly shown in the ingredient list.

This product is suitable for the majority of babies but the presence of egg and wheat make it unsuitable for babies who are allergic/intolerant to wheat or egg and therefore they should not consume this product.

If the item you purchased carries one of the four expiry dates shown we're asking that you return it to your nearest Boots store for a replacement or a refund.

We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you do have any concerns or need any further advice then please speak to someone at your local Boots store or call Cow & Gate's Care line on 0800 977 4000 or visit their website www.cowandgate.co.uk for further information.

BRITAX BABY-SAFE infant carriers

Due to a potential quality issue with a component, the handle of certain BRITAX BABY-SAFE infant carriers can be damaged or, in adverse circumstances, detach, if sudden force is applied to the handle. This may result in the infant carrier to swing, to separate, to fall to the ground or to arrive in other unsafe situations when carrying the product. This can pose a risk of injury to the occupying child especially if it is - against the user instruction - not harnessed. The defect may not be recognised by the consumers instantly.

We are asking consumers that have purchased one of the potentially affected products to stop using it with immediate effect.

Certain BABY-SAFE infant carriers that were sold in Europe between 1 February and 31 March 2012 are affected. If you purchased your product prior to 1 February or after 31 March 2012, your BABY-SAFE is not affected. Only a small number of potentially affected products are in use with consumers.

Please note, the recall only relates to the BABY-SAFE but NOT to the BABY-SAFE plus II or the BABY-SAFE plus SHR II.

We ask you to stop using your BABY-SAFE with immediate effect and visit the Britax website www.baby-safe-recall.eu to check whether your product is affected or not. If you are unable to visit their website please contact their consumer service team +44 1264 386034 or baby-safe.uk@britax.com.

Please have your product item number and the corresponding serial number ready.

The stickers with the item number and the serial number are located on the left side of the infant carrier (in direction of the occupying child) behind the handle hinge.

Item code: 59-31-673

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have told us that the meter fails to alert users when insufficient blood has been applied to the test strip. In some case this could potentially lead to false readings being given by the meter resulting in inappropriate insulin administration.

To reassure you, if the unit is used correctly the product operates and functions correctly. However, if you're concerned in any way, regarding the Clever Chek Talking Blood Glucose Monitoring System or you want advice on how to best use the meter then please either speak with your GP or contact the supplier, BBI Healthcare, on 01656 868 930 or by email at: info@bbihealthcare.com.

In the meantime, if you're concerned and want to change your Blood Glucose Monitoring System, then please return the product to your local store for a suitable alternative. Although the Clever Chek unit has since been discontinued, we've located a suitable alternative, which operates in a similar way to the product above. This is the Boots Blood Glucose Monitoring System 5053811. To find your local stockist store please contact Boots Customer Services and one of our advisors will be happy to help.

Braun Activator Model 8595

Braun has told us that, due to an error, a small number of 8595 shaver boxes actually contained a Braun Activator 8585 shaver.
