Harmless, bland (7)
I believe the answer is:
anodyne
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'harmless' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bland' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for anodyne that I've seen before include "Unlikely to cause offence - rather dull" , "Anything that relieves pain or distress" , "Describes what soothes or dulls the senses" , "Soothing to the mind or feelings" , "Pain relieving" .)
