NO SALE Warning as supermarkets to pull ‘toxic’ everyday product from shelves from next monthSUPERMARKETS will pull a "toxic" everyday product from shelves from next month after concerns about overdose toxicity in babies. The Bonjela Teething Gel and Mouth Ulcer Gel will only be available in pharmacies from October 1 after the products were reclassified by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia. In 2019, a mum warned parents about the Bonjela teething gel, claiming her baby was hospitalised after using the product. Jessica Vermunt said in a parenting group on Facebook that her daughter was “literally minutes from dying” after having too much Bonjela teething gel. “They diagnosed her with salicylate overdose, which is the active ingredient in Bonjela," Jessica told the news outlet.
