Urgent recall notices have been issued for a number of products (Image: Getty)
A range of items have been recalled by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) in recent days. And while some appear to be relatively low risk, there’s one item that poses “serious chemical risk”, and another that poses risk of fire.
Anyone with affected items is advised to stop using them immediately and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Items have been recalled from numerous retailers, including Argos, Amazon, and Curry’s. Here is a roundup of the latest recalls….
Facial sticker recalled over chemical risk (Image: Office for Product Safety and Standards)
Vice Versa Boutique Leo Face Sticker
This facial sticker has been recalled due to serious chemical concerns, as they have been found to contain excess concentrations of phthalates. It has been withdrawn from the market.
The OPSS say: “Phthalates may harm the health of children, possibly causing damage to the reproductive system. Improvements are also required to the product markings and warning labelling.”
Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact the distributor for redress.
