Re: Stop Press.................Boots recalls paracetamol over labelling error
« Reply #1996 on: March 05, 2025, 12:12:00 pm »
The High Street pharmacy chain Boots is asking customers to return packs of 500-milligram paracetamol tablets because a labelling error incorrectly states they are a different painkiller, aspirin.

More than 110,000 packs, with the batch number 241005 and expiry date "12/2029" on the bottom, are affected.

Customers can receive a full refund without a receipt.

Boots and the supplier, Aspar Pharmaceuticals Limited, have begun a full investigation.

The outer cardboard packaging is correctly labelled: "Paracetamol 500mg Tablets" but the inner foil blister pack of pills instead reads: "Aspirin 300mg Dispersable Tablets"........... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy7xn5lyxemo

Re: Stop Press...........first-class stamp will rise by 5p to £1.70
« Reply #1997 on: March 08, 2025, 02:13:00 pm »
The cost of a first-class stamp will rise by 5p to £1.70 on 7 April, Royal Mail has announced.

It will also raise the price of a second-class stamp by 2p to 87p on the same day.

The company said the decision carefully considered "balancing affordability with the increasing cost of delivering mail".

Citizens Advice described the change as "yet another blow to consumers", and said the change to the second class price was "unjust".

The number of letters Royal Mail delivers has fallen from a peak of 20 billion in 2004-05 to 6.6 billion last year.

However, the price of stamps has continued to rise. Since 2022, Royal Mail has already hiked the cost of a first-class stamp five times from 85p to £1.65................ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwygl9vj28do
