Mum to many and then some!
As some batches have been recalled

http://www.tga.gov.au/safety/alerts-medici...smol-121224.htm

The only batches affected are as follows:

Ventolin Batch numbers KN7170, KN7173, KN7178, and KN7179
Asmol Batch Numbers KL6790, KL6795, KL6796, KL6797, KL6798, and KL6799


Mods I know this is in product recalls as well but I think there are enough asthma sufferers on EB to warrent it being in the main boards. I had no idea that the recall was even in place!

Good idea to put it here too.

With so many GP's closed at the moment there would be heaps of people not realising its their ventolin/asmol inhaler not giving them enough relief and only about 1/r of the dose. I thought DD#2's and my asthma was playing up as we were getting enough relief like we normally do and needed more. Turns out we had 2x recalled ones.

Its heaps easy to swap over. Doesn't matter where you go it from. Just hand it over and they will give you new ones.

Thanks for that, I just checked and ours aren't but I think the last one I got might have been. I ended up throwing it out because it only gave probably not even a half puff and was near on useless.
