Weleda baby teething powder: Popular product urgently recalled after horror find inside bottle
A popular baby teething powder has been recalled over fears that glass fragments could be found inside the bottles.
Weleda Australia Pty Ltd is recalling one batch of the Weleda Baby Teething Powder 60g, after a person complained there was a fragment of glass inside the bottle.
It’s believed a fault during the packaging process on the batch (B) 231302 may have caused some glass fragments to spill into other bottles from the same batch.
