A MAJOR supermarket urgently recalled three popular products over fire risks as shoppers are ordered to “stop using immediately”.
Sainsbury’s is urging customers to return three products over fire safety concerns.
The Bosch toaster, a Nutribullet blender, and a Tower air fryer have all been flagged as potential fire hazards.
Bosch Styline Toaster recall
The luxury toaster was recalled due to a technical fault that can cause the electronics to overheat, potentially leading to a fire.
The affected products have the codes TAT8613GB and TAT8611GB, with both the black and white versions of the toasters being recalled.
The producers from Bosch have asked any of those with these toasters to disconnect them from the mains and to stop using them.
Nutribullet Go blender recall
Sainsbury’s has revealed that specific units of rechargeable blenders from Nutribullet have been urgently recalled.
A spokesperson said: “A small number of units have been identified as having a battery defect that could overheat during charging, creating a potential fire risk.
“Please stop using the item immediately, and check if you have an affected product by locating the serial number on the base of the blender.”
The affected serial numbers are 23XJ111122 00001 to 23XJ111122 01932, 23XH110922 00001 to 23XH110922 03220, and 23XL111422 00001 to 23XL111422 01288 – these can be found at the base of the blender.
Tower Air Fryer recall
The Tower air fryers affected by the recall have SKUs 141407023 and 139987372, and include both the 2.2-litre and 4-litre models.
A Sainsbury’s spokesman added: “Please stop using the item immediately, and check if you have an affected product by locating the product number on the base of the air fryer.
“Once you have identified that your product is impacted. Please visit www.tower-safety.co.uk to see if the batch number means it is included in the recall.
“No other batches are affected by this recall.”
It comes after Aldi issued an urgent warning to shoppers not to eat a popular sandwich filling as it could contain plastic.
Shoppers at the bargain supermarket have been told that the food item is “unsafe to eat”.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued a notice this afternoon that BM Foods Ltd is recalling its Chicken Cooked Meat Trimmings.
Officials say the product should not be eaten as it could contain pieces of plastic and a risk of choking.
The FSA said that notices would be put up in Aldi stores where the items are sold telling customers to return them.
In the notice, the agency said the product contains “possible presence of pieces of plastic in the products which presents a choking hazard and makes them unsafe to eat.
Your product recall rights
Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know.
Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods.
As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action.
But it’s often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk.
If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer’s website to see if a safety notice has been issued.
When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you – the customer – to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don’t there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault.
If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer.
They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice.
In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected.
You should not be charged for any recall work – such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item.
