'Stop using them immediately': Tesco, B&M, Boots & more issue recalls
Major UK retailers recall products due to fire, choking, and chemical hazards, including defective vacuum batteries and unsafe heavy metals in mugs, says the Office for Product Safety and Standards.
- The Office for Product Safety and Standards issued multiple recall alerts covering products sold at major high-street and online retailers, while Boots recalled licensed mug gift sets on October 27 over heavy-metal risks.
- Testing showed enamel‑coated licensed mugs may release heavy metals, and toy parts from John Lewis and Maxi‑Cosi pose choking hazards, the Office for Product Safety and Standards found.
- The Maxi‑Cosi recall covers toy tray product codes 31340401 and 31340402 sold between July 1st and October 23rd 2025, and Primark / Penneys soother clips with barcodes 5397338449973 and 5397257874849.
- Consumers are being told to stop using affected products immediately and return them for full refunds without proof, while owners of Hisense tumble dryers and vacuums should unplug or request battery replacements from Tefal.
- Enforcement included removing non‑compliant marketplace listings and outreach to sellers, while the Office for Product Safety and Standards noted failures to meet Toys Regulations 2011 and Electrical Equipment Regulations 2016.
