Counterfeit Dettol

Reckitt Benckiser is alerting retailers about a batch of counterfeit Dettol. The fake product contains methanol and may cause skin irritation.

Counterfeit bottles show the quantity as 500ml (16.92 FL oz), the manufacturer as Reckitt & Colman Inc, Wayne NJ 07474 0945 and include the American toll-free number 1800 228 4722. They have either no batch code or a poorly marked one with a "V" suffix. In other respects the packaging is practically identical to the genuine product.

Further information from Reckitt Benckiser customer services on 0845 769 7079.
