The Irish Medicines Board says it is safe for parents to continue using Bonjela as a teething gel despite a health warning in the UK that certain types of the product shouldn't be given to children under 16.
British health regulators say there is a small chance that the salicylate ulcer gel could lead to a rare syndrome (Reyes) that can cause liver and brain damage.
However, the Irish Medicines Board says it has done its own review and is satisfied that parents can continue to use the product to soothe baby's gums.
Begorrah!

Yeh I was just chatting with a friend about this, slightly bizarre. What happened to the good old days when nothing was bad for you... I miss those days
