Parents and carers across Cork are being urged to check their medicine cabinets following an urgent recall of Weleda Baby Teething Powder due to the possible presence of glass pieces.

The recall affects the 60g pack size with batch code 231302 and expiry date 11/26. The Category 1 alert, numbered 2025.26, indicates this is a matter requiring immediate action to protect infant safety.

Glass contamination in baby products poses serious risks, particularly for teething infants who may be more vulnerable to injury from sharp fragments.

Immediate Action Required

Retailers are being asked to remove the affected batch from sale immediately and display recall notices where customers can see them. Wholesalers and distributors must contact their customers to recall the problematic batch and ensure point-of-sale notices reach retail outlets.

Consumer Advice

Parents and carers should stop using the product immediately if they have the affected batch. The recall notice specifically advises consumers not to administer the implicated batch to infants or children under any circumstances.

Anyone who has purchased Weleda Baby Teething Powder should check the batch code and expiry date on their packaging against the recalled batch (231302, expiry 11/26). If the codes match, the product should not be used.

This recall demonstrates the importance of checking product alerts regularly, particularly for items used with vulnerable groups such as infants and young children.
