“If further recalls are necessary, we will communicate immediately.
“If you have any of the affected products, please discontinue use as soon as possible and switch to an alternative formulation.
“If formula was prescribed by a health professional, consult a pharmacist or other medical professional before switching.
“If you have given it to your baby and are concerned, contact your GP or NHS 111 for advice.
