Kerr alerts dentists to curing light warning
Kerr is highlighting a warning issued by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), asking UK dentists to check if they have bought counterfeit and unapproved dental curing light devices after 261 products were sold by people on eBay.
The MHRA states: ‘The products sold on eBay have not been tested for safety or that they work. Whilst the health risk remains low, people treated with them at dental practices could experience pain through tooth decay and may require additional treatment.
‘Dentists who have bought these products are urged to dispose of them following appropriate clinical procedures.
‘They can identify them by:
- no instructions for use
- on the genuine devices the Woodpecker mark is at the top, this is not on the counterfeit ones
- the electrical plug supplied is of poor quality.’
Committed to excellence, Kerr would like to reassure its customers that all of its dental curing light devices meet all relevant regulations.

GDPUK Ltd announces sale of intellectual property to leading publisher Cogora Group
GDPUK Ltd today announces the sale of its intellectual property assets to Cogora Group, one of the UK's leading publishers of healthcare brands, events and educational platforms.
The decision to sell GDPUK’s intellectual property forms part of a considered transition to ensure the long‑term stewardship and development of the brand and associated assets. Cogora brings a wealth of experience and expertise to support the continued evolution of the dentistry brand within its wide portfolio of market-leading healthcare publications. Its award-winning titles include Pulse, a long‑standing and widely recognised source of political news and clinical education for GPs, Nursing in Practice, Management in Practice, The Pharmacist, Pulse PCN and Healthcare Leader, as well as two secondary care publications – Hospital Healthcare Europe and Hospital Pharmacy Europe. The purchase will cement Cogora as the biggest publisher of primary care titles in the UK and allow it to bring its expertise in providing news, analysis, opinion and groundbreaking stories to GDPUK, as well as continue giving dentists and dental staff a voice through its website.
“After careful consideration, we believe that Cogora is well positioned to take GDPUK’s intellectual property forward,” said Tony Jacobs, founder, editor and publisher of GDPUK.com . “This transaction provides continuity for the professional community associated with GDPUK and creates opportunities for future growth under experienced ownership.”
Tony will continue involvement in GDPUK on a consulting basis.
GDPUK Ltd has worked to ensure an orderly transfer of the intellectual property and wishes Cogora every success in its future development.
