Boots Hot Water Bottles

They have discovered a potential safety problem with Boots hot water bottles, bought between October 2005 and January 2007.

Because their customers' safety is important to them they 've stopped selling the affected Boots hot water bottles and are asking customers to return them.. They are taking this measure because they have identified that there is a risk of the bottle splitting during use.

The affected hot water bottles were all manufactured in 2005 and were coloured in cream, blue and red. To check if you have one of the affected hot water bottles, please look at the circle on the back of the neck of the bottle. If the number moulded in the inner circle is 05, please stop using this product and return it to your nearest Boots store where you'll receive a replacement.

If your hot water bottle is inside a cover, you only need return the hot water bottle for an exchange, as the cover isn't affected.

If you've bought this item for someone else would you please let them know about this as soon as possible.

Should you have any queries, please speak to someone at your local Boots store or call the Boots Customer Care Team free from a BT or Eirecom landline on:
