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
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued an alert over Oslo Arrivo Pistachio Cream Dubai Cake.
They warned that the 40g bars have no English labelling and pose a “possible health risk”.
Sold online by East Midlands Foods Limited, the cake contains eggs, gluten, milk, nuts, soya and sulphites..
However, the lack of English warnings means anyone with an allergy or intolerance could be caught out.
The supplier has already recalled all best-before dates and urged shoppers to return the snack.
Upon returning the snack to stores, shoppers are eligible for a full refund.
