"Almost 39,000 packs of co-codamol, which contains both paracetamol and codeine, contain higher dose tablets than is stated on the label, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency said. "

Blimey! Glad we ran out of our co-codamols about six months ago - I've been using similar (Solpadiene Plus - also contains 65mgs of caffiene) for the past three weeks due to extremely painful dental work; these 30mg codiene/500mg paracetemol in the story would've flattened me after two doses, as I have a limited tolerance for codiene...

Thanks for the 'heads-up', Carol!
