Closed petition Ban the sale of paracetamol to children
Closed on
Currently there are no legal restrictions on the sale of paracetamol to children. We call on the Government to take action to protect our children from accidental overdose and self-harm by banning the sale of paracetamol to children.
We are facing a serious mental health crisis with our children, and seeing record levels of children referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).
We call on the government to take action to save lives and safeguard our children from harm by banning paracetamol from being sold to children.
