A major wellness and skincare company has recalled one of its baby products over a disturbing discovery that may cause choking.
Weleda Australia Pty Ltd has issued a recall for one batch of Weleda Baby Teething Oral Powder following the discovery of a glass fragment in one bottle.
It says a mistake in the packaging process may have caused glass fragments in other 60g bottles from the same batch, (B)231302, which has the expiry date 11/2026.
This recall does not impact other batches.
If there are glass fragments in the powder and it is applied to an infant’s gums, it could cause discomfort, pain or minor injury.
There is also a risk of choking or internal injury in more serious cases, including damage to the gastrointestinal tract, which may need urgent medical attention.
The powder has been sold at Chemist Warehouse, Priceline and other stores.
Consumers should immediately cease using the product from the affected batch and return it to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement.
For more advice, contact Weleda Australia via email at assist@weleda.com.au, or call 1300 551 454.
Anyone concerned about the use of this product should consult a health professional immediately.
