Man calls on Tesco to change wipe packaging after burning his bum

A man is calling on Tesco to change the packaging of its toilet cleaning wipes - after he was left with "burning pain" when he mistakenly used them as loo roll for days. Leon Gleed, 29, developed soreness around his rear end and was confused - until he suddenly realised he'd been using anti bacterial toilet cleaner wipes.

The lorry driver's girlfriend Sadie Williams, 29, picked up Tesco's Active Flushable Toilet Wipes from a Tesco Express store in Rica, south Wales last month. She placed them in the bathroom next to the toilet where Leon mistook them for toilet paper wipes.

A few days and multiple trips to the toilet later, Leon had developed a nasty rash. He checked the packaging of the wipes and confessed to Sadie - who he said burst out laughing.
