PHARMACIES across the UK have received a class 1 medical alert warning them about unsolicited packages from an organisation called "The Cyrus Project".
According to a report by C+D, a number of healthcare providers were targeted in a 24 hour period on the weekend, with requests to "sample" the product.
England's chief medical officer Dame Sally Davies said, "Public Health England has confirmed initial testing on packages received to date shows it is highly unlikely the substance contained is hazardous."
