The pills were linked to 20 hospitalisations and one death in Bristol as clubs reopened, with Bristol City council sharing their "concern" over the potentially lethal drugs circulating the city.
Leeds Festival also warned attendees in a push notification not to take the dangerous pills and to seek medical help immediately if they begin to feel unwell - also warning of pink 'Netflix' pills in circulation.
