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.
