The Office for Product Safety and Standards has issued a recall notice for these products, stating: “The product presents a risk of fire as it has poor internal build quality, with wires soldered directly to the PCB with no secondary form of fixing.
“This could lead to the connections becoming loose over time, causing the product to overheat and ignite leading to a fire. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulation 2005.”
Customers who have purchased these items are urged to cease using them “immediately” and return them to any TK Maxx store for a full refund.
TK Maxx stated: “Recent testing has identified a potential issue with the product’s internal wiring. In some units, the wiring may not be securely attached.
“As this is a portable product, there is a risk that the wiring could become loose during use, which may lead to overheating or a potential fire hazard.
“If you have purchased this product, please stop using it immediately and return to any TK Maxx store. You can get a full refund or replacement.”
The statement continued: “Tell your friends and family about this recall.”
