Panadol for kids withdrawn due to issue with dosing syringes.

Recently, there have been reports of a problem with the dosing syringe in fourteen batches of children's Panadol. This has prompted the Therapeutic Goods Administration and parent company Haleon Australia to issue a product defect correction for their Panadol Children 1 Month - 1 Year paracetamol 100 mg/mL oral liquid bottle. This particular product is commonly used for temporary relief of pain and fever in young children.

According to the TGA, the issue with the dosing syringe is that it may be stiff and difficult to use, potentially leading to an inability to control the delivery of the medicine. This poses a risk of choking, particularly for babies. Fortunately, this issue only affects certain batches of the product, and no other Panadol Children products are affected. It's important to note that there are no problems with the liquid medicine itself.

If you have a Panadol Children 1 Month - 1 Year paracetamol 100 mg/mL oral liquid bottle, it's important to check if it is from one of the affected batches. The TGA has provided a list of batch numbers for the 20mL bottle, which can be found on the base of the carton and on the label of the bottle. If your bottle is from one of these batches, it's advised to dispose of the supplied syringe and seek an alternative option.

You can obtain an alternative syringe from your local pharmacy. If you have any questions or concerns, you can also contact Haleon Consumer Relations at 1800 028 533 during weekdays from 8:30am to 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time. If you are unsure about using the syringe, it's best to consult with your pharmacist for guidance.
