United Kingdom - Around 6,000 inhalers used by asthma patients have been recalled by health officials.
Asthma UK said that “faulty inhalers could put people’s lives at risk” as it called on patients to check whether their inhaler needed to be returned.
The call comes after the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) urged asthma patients to replace specific batches of their Ventolin Accuhaler inhalers, used for the emergency relief of asthmatic symptoms, after it was discovered that a manufacturing issue resulted in some devices not delivering the full dose required.
