Practical next steps when a product result shows a warning or the packaging does not match.
1. Pause before use
If a product is shown as recalled or expired, do not use it. Follow any instructions shown in the result or provided by the relevant manufacturer or authority.
2. Keep the details available
Note the product, batch and expiry, where you bought it, and the warning you saw. If safe and appropriate, keep the packaging so the details can be checked.
3. Share a factual report
Describe what you observed and include relevant seller or product details. A report is a concern for review; the review process determines what follow-up is appropriate.
