Following a customer complaint, it was identified that the foil blister inside the carton of
Paracetamol 500 mg tablets (16s), incorrectly states ‘Aspirin 300 mg Dispersible Tablets’.
Aspar pharmaceuticals have retrieved and inspected the reported batch and confirmed
that the tablets in the blister packs are Paracetamol 500 mg tablets.
This batch was first distributed on 14/01/2025 and any customers or patients who have purchased the
product should return the packs to Boots stores for a full refund, with or without a receipt.
