'Stop using it immediately': Boots issues warning to shoppers over safety risk
Shoppers are told to stop using affected units immediately and claim a refund or replacement after a lithium-ion battery overheating risk.
Retailers have issued urgent recalls for the Dream Sleep Machine due to fire risks and Simple Skin Micellar Cleansing Water over bacterial contamination, affecting specific product batches.
The Dream Sleep Machine faces recall because specific charging devices may cause overheating, posing a fire hazard, while Simple is recalling cleansing water due to potential bacteria causing eye inflammation.
Affected products include date codes 7T12TN, 7W15TN, and 8P01TN for the machine sold since January 2, 2025, and batches of Simple products in 200ml, 400ml, and 730ml sizes, such as 616741.
"Stop using the affected product immediately," pharmacists told shoppers regarding the machine; retailers like Tesco, Asda, and Superdrug are offering full refunds to shoppers who return the items.
Guidance on disposal is available on the manufacturer's website for the Dream Sleep Machine, while Unilever’s Consumer Careline remains available to help customers identify affected Skin Micellar Cleansing Water batches and process returns.
