'Stop using immediately' - Shoppers at Asda, Lidl and more issued recall warning
Shoppers are told to stop using affected units and return them for a full refund after a spool cover defect was found.
Flymo has recalled The Flymo Simplitrim Strimmer due to a defect that may cause "physical injury." Shoppers at Asda, Lidl and other UK stores were warned to "stop using this product immediately" following the safety recall.
During operation, the spool cover on affected units may break and be ejected at high speed. This failure has been observed during the first or second use of the product.
Customers can identify the recalled product by its batch code 97083576-01, found on the label at the bottom of the handle. This allows verification of whether a specific unit requires return.
Affected purchasers are asked to return the product to the nearest store for a full refund. Alternatively, customers can contact Flymo to arrange home collection of the recalled strimmer.
