Man left in 'burning pain' after mistakenly using Tesco toilet wipes as loo roll

Tesco has been urged to change the packaging of their flushable toilet cleaner wipes after a man accidentally mistook them for regular toilet paper. Leon Gleed, 29, used the antibacterial wipes in his bathroom for days and soon developed pain around his rear end that he describes as a "burning pain".

The lorry driver states that his partner, Sadie Williams, purchased Tesco's 'Active Flushable Toilet Wipes' from a Tesco Express store in Wales in June. She then placed them near to the toilet so they were in a handy location to clean the loo, which is where Leon made the error.

A few days and a number of trips to the toilet later, he had developed a rash, as reported by The Mirror.
