Every product recalled this week as charger sold on TikTok causes electric shocks

Yahoo23-05-2025

Several products have been recalled by government agencies this week, including the recall of some chicken items in Northern Ireland being extended, while two products sold on TikTok have been removed due the risk of electric shock.
Product recalls are conducted by the government for a variety of reasons and are usually handled by the Food Standards Agency or the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.
If a product you have purchased has been recalled, you have the right to get the item repaired, replaced or refunded by the store you bought it from.
Here are all of the product recalled for the past week:
On Tuesday, Grape Tree recalled raw unsalted Macadamia Nuts because Shiga toxin-producing E. coli has been found in a batch of the product.
The products are the 250g bag, with a best before date of 11 July 2026 and the batch code G41 5 101 250610.
E.coli organisms can cause severe diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and sometimes haemolytic uremic syndrome.
People who have bought the product are being advised not to eat it and to return it for a full refund by emailing info@grapetree.co.uk.
This charger that was sold on TikTok has been recalled due to the risk of electric shock.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards said it presented a "serious risk of electric shock" because the pins are not the correct length and cannot be safely plugged into the socket.
They said: "If the user touches the exposed pins, they could receive an electric shock."
The product can be identified with the following information:
Charger model number: 4220
Plug model number: LP-60L
Barcode: 911014096779
TikTok removed the item from its marketplace after the recall was issued on Wednesday.
This plug-in sensor sold on TikTok has been recalled for the same reason as the charger.
It has short pins, meaning it can present a risk of electric shock and cause uneven wear on the socket connectors, damaging the connection.
It can be identified with the following information:
Brand: Shenzhen Mingchuan lighting technology Co Ltd
Model: Listed as Model No. 603, but label states Model No. 608
TikTok removed the item from its marketplace after the recall was issued on Wednesday.
This recall only applies to Northern Ireland, with Kenneth Hannah recalling all of their raw Jersey milk after Shiga-toxin producing E. coli was found in it.
All two-litre containers with all batch codes and any use-by date have been recalled.
The recall was issued on Thursday.
Anyone who has bought the milk should return it to the place they purchased it from for a full refund.
Raw milk is unpasteurised, and it has been warned that it has a higher chance of developing dangerous organisms when compared to pasteurised milk.
This recall has been extended from last week because listeria has been found in more products.
The impacted products are:
SPAR Enjoy Local Cooked Chicken Pieces
SPAR Enjoy Local Cooked Chicken Slices
SPAR Enjoy Local Cooked Chicken Fillets
The original recall affects any of the above products with a use-by date of 21 May, the updated one also now includes the chicken pieces and slices with a use-by date of 23 May.
The impacted batches are: 5126, 5128, 5126, 5128, 5126.
Symptoms caused by Listeria can be similar to flu, but in rare cases, the infection can be more severe causing serious complications like meningitis.
Older people, newborn babies, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to a listeria infection.
The products should be returned to the stores where they were bought, where customers will be given a full refund. A receipt is not required for the refund. They can also call SPAR customer service on 0289 034 2733.
LXINSHU, which also trades under the name Xinda, has had its half-body climbing harness recalled.
The full product name is LXINSHU Half Body Climbing Harnesses, Thicken Widen Waist Protection Safety Harness, Safety Belt for Rock Tree.
It was sold on Amazon, and was removed when the recall was issued on Wednesday.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards said it had been identified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) but was not supplied with the required compliance documentation or markings to demonstrate that it has been adequately conformity assessed.
They said the lack of assessment may increase the risk to customers as the product may not perform as expected when relied upon for its designed use.
This infrared diesel heater, designed for use in medium-sized garages and workshops, has been recalled due to the risk of fire.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards it is possible for the combustion chamber to be overfuelled, leading to a temperature beyond intended parameters.
This overfuelling leads to flames extending through the front radiation plate which can fail if used for extended amounts of time.
If the plate fails, an open flame can be exposed and hot material potentially discarded on the ground in front of the unit.
The product can be identified with the following information:
Brand: SIP Industrial Products
Model: Fireball ID78
Barcode: 5012713005918
Batch numbers: P0062511 and P0062954
Anyone who owns the product should stop using it and contact Sip Group to return the unit.

Woman Gets Dog Instead of Baby To Avoid Tantrums—Doesn't Go As Planned

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman's attempt to avoid having to deal with temper tantrums failed miserably when she chose to adopt a dog who proved to be just as demanding as a human child, if not worse. In a viral TikTok video shared on Friday under the username @calei_calei, the Jersey City dog owner writes: "Getting a dog instead of a human baby to avoid a temper tantrums." In the footage, she cuddles her German shepherd, Rusty. The following shot, however, shows the pup sitting at the back of the car, howling at his owner nonstop, until she gets him what he wants. "My dog every time we pull into Starbucks because he expects a pup cup," the owner continues. "I should have known a German shepherd always brings the drama," the caption adds. Pets can experience temper tantrums just like humans, and while they generally are physically not harmful, they can be emotionally overwhelming for both. Dogs often display frustration when forced to do things they are not up to. Common signs that your pup is having a tantrum include refusing to follow commands, excessive barking, growling, and destructive behaviors such as chewing. The best way to manage pet tantrums, according to Netmeds, is to allow the episode to run its course. This can help you determine if this behavior is just attention-seeking. Using familiar commands like "sit" or "settle" can help snap an animal out of an emotional episode. Remaining calm is key, as pets pick up on our emotions and react accordingly.

One user, OdinTheMalinois, commented: "Picked the worst dog if you didn't want tantrums haha. I learned from a young age that my Shepard gets no pup cups or he will bark at the employees til he gets one. Now he has stopped since he knows he gets no more haha." Lisa Y posted: "You got the wrong breed if you were trying to avoid tantrums. Mine throws a full on hiss fit if she can't get past her brother to go into a room." Bee added: "Ummm I can honestly say my dog has more temper tantrums than any child I've ever met." Newsweek reached out to @calei_calei for comment via TikTok comments.

Family's message as they hit back at party claims in neighbourhood row

A row over a balcony to allow a mother and daughter to sit together came to a head as neighbours complained the extension would rob them of light. Plans for a number of changes to 33 Beacon Drive in Newton near West Kirby on the Wirral were approved by a Wirral Council planning committee on June 5. This included a two storey side extension, a single storey rear extension and balcony, front porch, and changes to a garden including a new patio. The plans were put forward to allow a family to care for an elderly relative with some of the changes designed to make the house more accessible. Two people in favour of the development said it would be a positive contribution to the area. However the plans came under fire from 27 neighbours as well as West Kirby councillor Jenny Johnson. READ MORE: Trent Alexander-Arnold's 'generous' act as lasting gift to Liverpool confirmed READ MORE: Police swarm area as boy, 15, 'seen with gun' The main concerns raised included overlooking and privacy with the extension described as 'overbearing and dominating' and a balcony they claimed towered over its neighbours. At the planning committee meeting, two neighbours spoke against the plans. They argued it would cause lasting harm to neighbours, arguing the wrong house had been bought. One neighbour said it had been 'the most stressful nine months for us' as they had battled against the plans, adding: 'It will rob us of light and loom over our heads when we are outside.' He claimed that 'whenever we go outside we will wonder who is looking down on us.' Cllr Johnson urged councillors to refuse the plans but if they were to approve it, they should make sure the balcony couldn't be extended further. She told the committee: 'This is one of the worst cases I have come across in my time as a councillor.' Challenging these claims was Emma Breen, speaking on behalf of the applicant. She said it was a household application for a family home that would allow multiple generations to live together and allow a family member to be cared for. She argued each house in the area was different. Responding to claims the balcony would be used for parties, she said: 'This is a personal, household development. The balcony for example was never meant for parties. 'It was a way for the applicant and her mother, who is no longer able to travel, to enjoy a quiet moment together while overlooking the water. In truth, the revised balcony is now so reduced that accommodating this would be difficult.' She also claimed that some neighbours had been approached directly to support objections. She argued the process must 'remain fair and impartial when essential care needs are at stake.' Following a debate, committee chair Cllr Stuart Kelly said there was no doubt the type of application before them was difficult, adding: 'It isn't about 'there can't be any views into any neighbouring properties in an urban area'. That would be ridiculous.' He added: 'It's whether it is to an unacceptable degree. At my house, if I look out of my rear bedroom windows, I have got a fairly clear view of most of my neighbour's gardens as it stands.' Councillors voted to unanimously approve the application with a condition including restricting the size of the balcony. In the same meeting, a seven-bed house of multiple occupation was also refused on Serpentine Road in Liscard following a number of concerns raised by local councillor Graeme Cooper. Councillors from all parties criticised the fact changes had been made to the building to accommodate seven bedrooms and called for standards to be maintained. Cllr Paul Stuart said: 'This can only be described as trying to pile them in and pack them as high as possible to get as much out of a smaller space.'
