Asked if women who had already used the product had been exposed to any danger, she said "no, not at all".

The company was erring on the safe side by withdrawing that particular batch.

Customers who had bought the product were requested to return it to any Tesco store, she said. A full refund would be given.

Tesco Ireland has placed advertisements in the daily newspapers and has apologised to customers for any inconvenience caused. It has also provided a freephone number (1800-248- 123) for customers who have any queries about the product or its recall.
