Today in some of Middle East news papers there was a warning not to purchase
" Panadol Extra - Batch No.: 050292".

This Panadol shipment has been exposed in the heated area at warehouse.
If the person takes one capsule it will affect his kidney and may damage it.
Take care. The original code # is 050208 .

Please share with everyone you know

This is a fake post or email you received. It has been going around for almost 3 yrs or more. Please do your research before you post such things and scare people.

If you don't believe me just paste this in google search engine. Panadol Extra - Batch No.: 050292"

It will come up with many results about this hoax.

I received this same thing almost 3 years ago in Bahrain.

Somebody has too much time on their hands and tries to scare people.

Thanks Azzilana....anyways I think one should be always careful while taking OTC drugs especially the pain killers. In Panadol it contains about 65 mg of Caffeine which is also very very harmful if taken frequently.
