Many thanks for posting this Risabel. I’d just picked this up myself but the article I saw did not identify the batches affected.

I do use ventolin accuhalers, and have recently acquired two new ones, but they’re a different batch, thank goodness.

HI all,

Here's some advice on what inhalers they are recalling and what to do:

Understandably, if you have asthma you might be worried your inhaler is affected. But, there’s no need to panic. There are three lots of inhalers in the UK that might be faulty, and if your inhaler is among them, you just need to get it changed.

Thanks,

My chemist called to check batch numbers on mine, apparently the dose is incorrect. If in doubt take them to a pharmacy and they will check and swap if needed
