What are the defects?
One of the seven Set B Graphic Health Warnings (the "Smoking Causes Heart Disease" GHW), features the previously mandated image, not the current one, which was replaced by the Competition and Consumer (Tobacco) Amendment Information Standard 2012.
The required Graphic Health Warnings have been specifically developed to assist in preventing deaths and illness attributable to tobacco products by preventing uptake or relapse and encouraging cessation of tobacco use.
These cigarettes were sold nationally by various tobacco retailers. They were supplied by British American Tobacco Australia
Consumers can return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or a replacement product.
