    Panadol bottles - Please read!

    I sent an email to Panadol yesterday:

    I just went to use our children's panadol, which I keep in a zip lock bag in the baby bag. It had spilt in the bag, so I thought I must have not screwed the cap on properly. But on inspection, the cap doesnt click in to be child proof at all and is actually quite loose. I just thought I would let you know as this could be quite dangerous.
    they called me today & said they were changing the lids, so I'm guessing this is happening a bit. Definately worth checking, especially those of you with older children who could open them...

    Thanks Linda, it all amke sense now!!!
    I also keep my baby panadol in a zip lock bag in Indah's nappy bag & it's almost empty & the bag is all sticky (I had washhed it once!) I wondered why she would have already had so much & even asked my sister how much she had given her, to which she said, I thought you'd given so much to her!!! hee hee... She was too worried to question me!!!
    Now it makes sense!!

    Thanks Linda..

    No worries. BTW they are sending me a replacement bottle & a reply paid envelope to send it back to them in. So if you want to let them know they will replace it for you.

    I've never had a problem with the lid, but I did get one bottle that had the medicine cup all melted from when they put the security wrap on. So I rang them and they were most obliging and sent me a replacement bottle. I did have to send the other bottle back.
