Class 2 Medicines Recall: Boots Paracetamol 500 mg tablets (16s), EL(25)A/10

Aspar Pharmaceuticals Limited have informed the MHRA of an error related to a batch of Boots Paracetamol 500 mg tablets (16s). The foil blister inside the carton incorrectly states ‘Aspirin 300 mg Dispersible Tablets’. The tablets are confirmed to be Paracetamol 500 mg tablets.

I'll not try to interpret or explain further - follow the link for full information.

But I shall point out it wasn't a pharmacist or healthcare worker who identified the issue. It was a member of the public.

I highly recommend that you subscribe to alert emails - or whatever system applies where you live.
