Ikea has issued an urgent product recall for one of its kitchen items due to a risk of "small metal pieces detaching during use" and potentially being consumed. The popular homeware store is asking customers to stop using the product and to return it to stores for a full refund.
Shoppers do not require a receipt to be eligible to get their money back. The item affected is Ikea's 365+ VÄRDEFULL Garlic press with the following article numbers: 201.521.58, 305.781.89, and 601.636.02.
In an alert issued on Facebook, the store said: "Dear fans, Ikea urges all customers who own an Ikea 365+ VÄRDEFULL Garlic press, black, to stop using it and to contact IKEA for a full refund. Safety is a top priority for Ikea, therefore we are recalling IKEA 365+ VÄRDEFULL garlic press as it poses a risk of small metal pieces detaching during use and subsequently being ingested with the food."
It added: "The affected product has the article numbers 201.521.58, 305.781.89, and 601.636.02, from date stamp 2411(YYWW) until 2522 (YYWW). The Ikea 365+ VÄRDEFULL Garlic press can be returned to any Ikea store at the Exchanges and Returns counter for a full refund.
"Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required. We apologise for any inconvenience this recall may cause. For more information, please contact Ikea on 01733 520 006 or visit IKEA.co.uk/recalls."

Ikea says the product is not safe to use due to a "production error", which was identified after an internal investigation. Affected products can be identified by a marking of the Ikea logo on the upper handle of the garlic press.
Ikea adds: "If customers still cannot identify it, they can return any Ikea 365+ VÄRDEFULL garlic press in black and get a refund." In another statement, the store urges customers who own an affected garlic press to "immediately stop using it and contact Ikea."
It also says: "Ikea encourages customers to spread the word about this recall, especially if they know that the recalled product was offered, lent or sold to someone else."

The product recall comes not long after Ikea issued a similar recall alert for a different kitchen item. On Wednesday (June 11), Ikea asked anyone who owns a 365+ HJÄLTE stirring spatula, with article number 401.494.62 and the date stamp 2445 (YYWW) (corresponding to products purchased after November 2024), to immediately stop using it.
It added: "Contact IKEA for a full refund. Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required. For more information, please contact IKEA on 01733 520 006 or visit IKEA.co.uk. https://bit.ly/3FIeiDk."

Britain's best-selling car brands revealed with ‘devastatingly handsome' Ford STILL topping the charts
BRITAIN'S best-selling car brands have been revealed with the "devastatingly handsome" Ford still at the top. We're over halfway through the year, and Autocar has updated its list of the most popular car brands – with one model jumping up to break into the top five. 5 The Ford Puma remains the best-selling car of the year so far Credit: Getty However, the Ford Puma has retained its top spot despite low sales at the beginning of the year. Last month saw a 1.6 per cent rise in car sales, with a whopping 150,070 vehicles sold in May. There's also been a 25.8 per cent surge in EV sales, adding 32,738 more electric cars to UK roads. Despite the increase in electric motors, there were no Tesla models in the top 10 most bought cars. Here are the most popular cars in 2025 so far. Ford Puma - 21,936 units The Ford Puma remains the best-selling car of the year, just as it was in 2024. It had a slow start to the year, but after three straight months of strong sales, it's climbed back to the top spot. The popular model appeals to drivers with its affordable pricing and range of options, including the sporty Puma ST variant. The upcoming release of the electric Ford Puma Gen-E will help cement its top spot status. 5 The second most popular car sold - the Kia Sportage Credit: Getty Kia Sportage - 19,636 units This SUV is 'fresh, eye-catching and modern,' as described by Autocar. Its designers in Seoul will be thrilled to see the much-loved model hold onto second place for another month running. The Kia Sportage offers mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, and plug-in hybrid options, giving buyers plenty of choice. Built in Europe, the car has a futuristic design which car expert Matt Saunders said caught his imagination. Matt said: 'Not sure if it was aircraft tail fins or T-bone steaks that those air vents reminded me of, but I certainly kept coming back to look at them. 'Sometimes character/full product design can be just that simple.' 5 Nissan Qashqai is the third most popular in the UK Credit: Getty Nissan Qashqai - 17,077 units This Nissan was the most sought-after car in 2022, but has since been leapfrogged by its competitors. Despite a recent dip, it remains a popular choice among drivers thanks to its strong practicality and ongoing appeal. The SUV is so popular that the average Brit is said to always be within 500m of one. The Nissan Qashqai's sales have been boosted by the addition of electrified powertrains in its third generation. 5 A Vauxhall Corsa car, which was the fourth most popular Credit: Getty Vauxhall Corsa - 16,545 units The Vauxhall Corsa has had a rollercoaster ride in annual car sales, hitting number one in 2021 before dropping out of the top 10 in 2024. In response to weak sales, Vauxhall completely redesigned the model. The Corsa now features a sleek, modern design and upgraded technology, giving it a more luxurious feel. The overhaul was an apparent success, with the Corsa now taking the number four spot for the most bought car in the UK. 5 The Nissan Juke overtook the Volkswagen Golf to claim fith spot Nissan Juke – 15,249 units The Nissan Juke is the newest model to climb the ranks, overtaking the Volkswagen Golf in Autocar's updated list of best-selling cars. The small SUV continues to be popular, securing fourth place in 2024. It got a facelift in mid-2023, which also introduced hybrid power for the first time.
