'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.
  • For further information, Asda Customer Relations can be reached at 0330 053 0111. Lidl Customer Care is available via email at customer.care@lidl.co.uk or by phone at 0203 966 5566.
