I bought this for my kids when they were younger but rarely used it.

We used to get a special formula which was only available at the hospital pharmacy. It’s not a big deal. Must shopping’s centres that have supermarkets have pharmacies rear by,

Yes it is about time they started doing this well overdue

I used this on my youngest son when he was teething. He’s now 40, so it just goes to show how long it took them to realise it could be harmful.

I never used this on my babies, but my husband used it as false teeth often caused an ulcer.

Wow! I just bought a tube recently for myself to get rid of ulcers.

Its a shame people can’t read instructions I guess… A warning on the label should be enough surely…

Important to not missuse or overuse it indeed.

It makes sense – people should be getting advice on how to use it properly

  I agree, keeping everyone informed and aware of changes and information about products is so important for health.

They have to cover themselves. Could be potent if used in higher than recommended doses for days at a yime

Wow that’s a shame and an inconvenience to people who need it late at night or last minute. Surely the instructions on the packaging lets people know how to use it and the warnings.

  I agree.
  It shouldn’t be needed to take it off the supermarket shelves and take away the responsibility of those who buy it on how to use it.
  It’s like treating adults like little children.
  Everybody gets punished for the ignorance of some.

Wow that’s going to be inconvenient for many. Most people know to only use a small amount and the instructions are on the packet.

This is a real shame and I honestly think a really bad move. Having it available at supermarkets can be so much easier as you can purchase it with your shopping without having to go to another store. I think they will regret this decision.

Bit sad that something that’s helped teething babies for many years is being taken off supermarket shelves just because a few don’t use it as recommended

Seems a bit silly. They’ll probably charge more for it too.

Damn I used this on my first born

This has always had links to SUDI, so l never used it.

A good idea to seek advice from a pharmacist and show due care when using these products.

My eldest daughter loved Bonjela as a baby and even now as a teenager still uses it when they need to 🙂

Luckily I never had to use anything like that.
