There's no need for parents to panic about the recall of children's Panadol in Australia.

Medicines sold here aren't affected by the contamination scare, which it's feared could cause an allergic reaction.

Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration has recalled three batches of the drug as a precaution.

Medsafe says it's aware of the recall, but it says there's no effect on stock being sold this side of the Tasman.
