Parents are warned not to use two batches of popular nappy rash cream, Curash, after reports the product caused skin irritation, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) said.
The symptoms caused by impacted batches include skin sensitivity, redness and rash, TGA said.
The TGA is urging customers to check the batch number on the back of the tube. The affected products will be marked with 1118263 and 1116727.

The cream, which is sold nationally in pharmacies, chemists and other retailers, is produced by manufacturing company, Dwight and Church.
