There has been a national recall of the Prohealth Vitamin D3 Children’s Drops due to reports of damage to the pipette.

The specific batch of vitamin D drops being recalled is LOT 2101001.

An NHS Highland spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that this has recently been distributed within the Highland Council area.

"We have had no reports of any damage to the product in our area. Our Health Information and Resources team are able to identify where these vitamins have been distributed and we are contacting them all individually to advise them of the product recall and asking them to check the LOT number on their supply.
