Tyco Healthcare is recalling some hot/cold surgical packs because a number of the products contain a toxic substance.
The Surgipack and Body Plus packs were recalled when a manufacturer confirmed that the packs contained toxic ethylene glycol, rather that the non-toxic ingredient propylene glycol.
Ingestion of ethylene glycol can be harmful, and initial symptoms can include drowsiness, nausea and vomiting.
People who purchased the packs are advised to return the product to the place of purchase for a refund.
