Urgent safety warning issued as beauty tool recalled over ‘electric shock' fears
An urgent safety warning has been issued to Irish shoppers as a popular beauty product has been recalled due to the risk of electric shock.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) announced on Thursday that a recall has been issued on a popular nail lamp which may be affected by a circuitry issue that could cause harm to users.
The CCPC confirmed that a safety issue has been identified with a BEAUTYLUSHH UV nail lamp sold on the eBay platform.
The risk reported to the CCPC is electric shock. The power supply cable is not secure and may make contact with accessible live parts of the product which may result in electric shock.
The brand is BEAUTYLUSHH. The type/number of models is SUN5 – 6462 and the batch number is D24-2024-22427-1, while the bar code is 5902802908650.
If you purchased one of these products, the CCPC has urged you to stop using it immediately and discard the product.
They also suggested that you may contact eBay to see if there are any remedies available to you. This can be done via your user account on the eBay platform.
The product recall comes after the CCPC issued a safety alert over a Gertzy shaver, sold on TEMU by GERTZY DIRECT, earlier this week.
It said the black device, which features a distinctive orange rim near the shaver head, has not been demonstrated to meet relevant safety standards.
It is believed that around 18 of these shavers have been purchased by shoppers in Ireland. The affected items have the model number MG8018.
Customers who purchased this product are being advised to discontinue use immediately due to the potential safety risk.
Anyone with concerns or questions about the item is urged to contact TEMU's Dedicated Customer Services department for further assistance via this link.

Two Irish tourists arrested on suspicion of raping Irishwoman in Magaluf
The pair, who police say they believe are brothers, and the woman are said to be Irish passport holders. Two Irish tourists have been arrested on suspicion of raping a compatriot in the Majorcan party resort of Magaluf. The pair, who police say they believe are brothers, were hauled to court today hours after being held. It was not immediately clear if they have already appeared before an investigating judge to be remanded in prison or released on bail. The alleged sex attack they are being investigated over occurred in the early hours of this morning. Magaluf. Photo: Getty News in 90 Seconds - 5th June 2025 It is thought to have happened at a hotel in Magaluf although details are still sketchy. A spokesman for the Civil Guard said today: 'Two men, supposedly brothers, met the woman and her female friend and after a few hours, invited them to continue partying in their room. 'There the victim, after consuming alcohol, began to feel unwell and fell asleep. 'When she woke up she realised she had been sexually assaulted. 'Police attended and helped the victim. After interviewing her and carrying out a rapid investigation, they tracked down the suspected offenders, aged 23 and 20, and proceeded to arrest them. 'The two men were handed over to the courts earlier today.' Well-placed sources said the two men and the woman are all Irish passport holders. Court officials could not be reached early this afternoon. Both suspects were escorted into the court building in the Majorcan capital Palma separately in handcuffs by an armed police officer.

Gerry Adams to donate €100k libel payout to charity and defends claim he 'put manners on the BBC'
GERRY ADAMS HAS announced that he will donate the €100,000 in libel damages from the BBC to 'good causes', including 'the children of Gaza', Irish-based homeless support groups and Irish language organisations. Adams was awarded the significant cash sum on Friday after a High Court jury ruled that the BBC defamed him in a 2016 programme, which alleged his involvement in the murder of British spy Denis Donaldson. The court found the broadcaster had falsely implicated Adams in sanctioning the 2006 killing of Donaldson, a former senior IRA member later exposed as an MI5 agent. Adams denies any involvement in the murder. In a video shared on social media today, Adams said that the money would go to various charities and community groups – including Gaza charities, Irish homeless organisations and An Cumann Cabhrach, which supports republican prisoners and their families. In the video, Adams also defended his comments outside the court on Friday, where he told reporters that he had 'put manners on the BBC'. The comment was widely criticised, with the Irish secretary of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) describing Adam's line as 'chilling'. Adams rejected this, claiming today that the success of his case was a 'very important and very significant breach' in the BBC's 'monopoly on how it broadcasts 'news' especially in Ireland'. Advertisement 'As I said outside the Four Courts, I took this case to put manners on this institution – I stand over that comment,' Adams said in a video shared to Youtube by Sinn Féin. Sinn Féin / YouTube 'I reject the over-the-top responses to it.' He added: 'Journalism was a victor, not a loser, but only if the lessons are learned and acted upon. 'The British Broadcasting Corporation is supposed to be a public service provider. It is paid from public funds. It upholds the ethos of the British state in Ireland, that goes without saying, but it should be publicly accountable for its broadcasting content. 'It rarely is. That's what this court case did. That's what the jury did. The BBC lost.' Later in the video, Adams said that journalists 'bear an onorous responsibility not to make false accusations based on unreliable and or nonexistent supporting evidence'. 'There's also been predictable responses from all the usual verdicts to the verdict in this cae. This is not the time to defend bad journalism. This is the time to learn the lessons. 'They too should stop whinging – this is senior hurling.' Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

Man held victim in headlock as second attacker stabbed him during Dublin city attack, court hears
A 24-YEAR-OLD man allegedly held an Algerian national in a headlock in Dublin city centre on Monday while a second attacker stabbed and critically injured him, a court heard. Abdul Kouadria, 24, with an address at Gardiner Street, Dublin 1 and previously of Richmond Road, Dublin 3, was refused bail by Judge Michele Finan at Dublin District Court today. The Irish-Algerian accused was charged with assault causing harm to the man who remains in ICU at the Mater Hospital, after he suffered life-threatening injuries at at Rosie Hackett Bridge, Eden Quay, Dublin 1 on Monday afternoon. Objecting to bail, Detective Garda Sean Dineen cited the seriousness of the case and submitted that the accused was a flight risk. He mentioned that Kouadria had been born in Ireland, but mainly lived outside the country and returned about three years ago. He said that there was an altercation at 4.30pm on Monday, and according to onlookers, the accused and the injured man 'were engaged in a scuffle on the bridge.' It was alleged Kouadria 'placed him in a headlock and dragged him on the ground,' and another man approached. It was unclear who brought the knife to the scene, but witnesses purportedly saw the second alleged attacker stab the man using several stabbing and slashing motions. The detective said that the garda position was that the critical injuries were a result of a 'joint enterprise assault', inflicted by the accused and a second male. It was alleged that Kouadria took the man's jumper and walked off. His runners have been seized and subject to analysis, and garda divers recovered the knife from the Liffey and it will be examined. CCTV evidence has been harvested, the court heard. Advertisement Detective Garda Dineen said that while Kouadria was born in Ireland, he had only lived here since 2023. Defence solicitor Kelly Breen said the case was at a very early stage, and the evidence could be subject to cross-examination in the correct forum. In exchanges with Detective Garda Dineen, she said her client was not alleged to have been brandishing the knife in the CCTV footage. He replied, 'No, but he holds the injured party in a headlock while the second male stabs the injured party.' The solicitor accepted that Mr Kouadria had been abroad, adding that he had been in Saudi Arabia, where his father lived. She submitted that her client had a presumption of innocence and bail, and although the charge was very serious, strict conditions could be imposed. The court heard there were issues over his residence, and the detective said the accused used a Dublin 9 address but had been accessing homeless services at Gardiner Street. The solicitor asked the court to consider fixing bail, subject to him offering a permanent address, obeying a curfew, surrendering travel documents, and providing a contact phone number. Judge Finan highlighted that the accused enjoyed the presumption of innocence. However, she held that Detective Garda Dineen made a very cogent application, and she refused to grant bail. The accused, who did not address the court, was remanded in custody to appear again next week while gardai seek directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions. Yesterday, a 31-year-old man accused of inflicting severe knife slashing wounds during the same incident was also denied bail. Adel Attal, from Algeria but living in Ireland for two years, and with an address in State accommodation on Henry Street, Mallow, Co Cork, was charged with assault causing harm and brandishing a knife as a weapon during the incident. His application to be released revealed that the injured man suffered serious stab wounds to his stomach, back, and legs, requiring emergency surgery.
