Today I was checking through the first aid box at our local parent-run playgroup and noticed that a lot of the items are past their expiry date. But I don't understand how packets of plasters, bandages, disinfectant wash etc can actually go out of date? Do they actually become dangerous, is it that they become less potent (so more like a Best Before date), or is it just a manufacturers scam to increase sales?
WIBU to either leave them in the box at playgroup OR to take them home and add them to my own first aid box? Do I really have to bin perfectly good first aid supplies? I remember my mum's first aid box being an ancient selection of plasters and half empty tubes of Germolene, none of which ever got binned!
