    Address: North Goa, Goa

    Dear Sir, I had bought Mother's Horlicks from an outlet in Goa in the mid week of May-2015. Box condition was good but when I opened box, Pouch inside box was open and nutrition powder was all scattered inside the box. I have also attached photos for your reference. From the batch number I guess it was manufactured at your Baddi Site. Batch Number is 23BB1B (03:08) Packed on 12/14.

        my tube of Abreva was almost all air....

        As a longtime user of Abreva.. I use this product exclusively and have for as many years as I have seen it on the shelves. This time I found the tube I purchased was 85% air. I have to say I have used this many many times wih absolutely NO problems. And also one tube would sustain its contents for lengthy periods of time. This tube I purchased only less than a month ago and when i went to use it yesterday the tube was only used twice before...

        Beginning the New Year on an exciting note, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare announced its foray into the toothpaste category in India, with its biggest global brand- Sensodyne Toothpaste. Sensodyne is the world's leading toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth and is the fastest growing GSK Oral Care Brands. It has a legacy of being a highly recommended brand by dentists across the globe.Sensitive Teeth is a condition where one feels a sharp, short pain in the tooth while eating or drinking anything hot/ cold/ sweet. Most consumers are unaware of tooth sensitivity as a problem & available simple solutions for the same. According to various studies, the incidence of sensitivity in India is currently estimated at 17% and only 4% of the total sensitivity sufferers visit a dentist.Mr. Shubhajit Sen, Executive Vice President - Marketing, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, India, commenting on the launch, said, "GSKCH has always endeavored to develop new products catering to the constantly changing needs of its consumers. It strives to provide them with products that help them live a better life. Tooth sensitivity is a growing occurrence amongst Indians, but unfortunately the awareness and solution around the issue continues to be low. Sensodyne is a consumer preferred and expert endorsed brand globally and we are excited to bring the benefits of this product to Indian consumers."The national launch of Sensodyne was preceded by successful test marketing in South India. The launch will be supported by a strong advertising and marketing campaign and 360 degree activation called Chill Test. The Chill Test will create awareness on the important issue of sensitivity amongst consumers and give them a chance to get themselves tested for dental sensitivity. The marketing plan also includes an extensive outreach to Dentists and Dental Colleges to create advocates for the brand.

              Dear Sir / Madam,
              I purchased a total of 42 pkts of HORLICKS FOODLES to carry it abroad.
              Some packets I purchased from Andheri & some from Kurla. But I am not sure from which exact place I got few packets, which are already expired. Please note the details below FYIA.

              Its very shamefull to know such acts. How can somone sell a consumer expired product? & that too for an educated person like me? Coz we trust this shopkeepers & therefore dint checked the date.
              I hope you can catch the culprit with the below details provided?
              Highly appreciate your reply on my email id : [protected]@gmail.com

              28 MG ROAD.
              BANGALORE : 560 001 [FOR HORLICKS FOODLES]

              Please note : the manufacturer is not responsible, but the seller who sold after expiry date.

              Is it possible for you to check the seller on the basis of below details?

                I am the mother of KATHERINE PEARL B. SARABIA, 14 years old, a student of Iloilo National High School, Special Science Class- 3rd year. My daughter was prescribed by her attending Physician Dr. Japhet P. Gensaya- Fernandez de Leon, M.D, FPPA to take your medicine Lamotrigine Lamictal 50 mg tablet. Due to your medicine, my daughter is now TERRIBLY SUFFERING from Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. She is in SEVERE PAIN, every inch of her body is FULL of PAINFUL, BLEEDING BLISTERS.
                Her medications especially IV IG cost us a big fortune! And expenses are still going on!
                She is running for Honors in her class. She has to be absent from her class for she had been confined at St. Paul’s Hospital, Iloilo City, Philippines, Room 314 since September 7, 2010 until the present.
                I am appealing to your sense of humanity and responsibility to immediately defray the expenses for all her medical needs and hospitalization.
                I expect to get immediate financial assistance for my daughter whose dream to have honors in her class is shattered by your BAD, BAD, BAD medicine.
                If you fail to help us and my daughter now. Expect a lawsuit here in Iloilo City, Philippines.

                GlaxoSmithKline — rudeness of phone employee

                I was trying to get help with my co-pay for my medecine. I called 3 weeks ago & was told they would send me a card to cover my co-pay. I never heard from them again. I called after 3 weeks & was told "we don't offer help to people with insurance" I was told 3 weeks ago you did. She was so rude. Does this company think people enjoy having to ask for any help in the first place?
                I found dealing with the people from glaxo smith some of the rudest people I have ever delt with. After 3 WEEKS, they are of no help what so ever. IT TOOK 3 WEEKS, for them to figure that out. AMAZING!

                GlaxoSmithKline — adulteration

                Dear Sir,
                I am an old customer, who has been using BOOST from the company mentioned above.Few months before , I saw clay balls are mixed in the product. This clay gets submitted in the bottom after the Boost is dissolved in the milk. I thought it must be energy booster or whatever it is as mentioned on the label. When tasted, to my surprise I see it to be clay. This is very bad for health. Esp of the children and the old whose kidney might get affected.
                This has also happened with my next pack of new flavour of chocolate which is in latest introduced.
                Keeping in mind, the overall population I bring this to you as a complaint.
                Please take immediate steps to rectify the problem.

                GlaxoSmithKline — Cheating in weight

                I had purchased a pack of "Horlicks Nutribic Fiber Rich Digestive Biscuits", with printed net weight as 200gm. However, before opening the pack I felt that the number of biscuits is less. So I weighed the pack and found that the actual net weight is less than 180 gm. This is cheating by the company.
