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.

The product can be identified with the following information:
Brand: SIP Industrial Products
Model: Fireball ID78
Barcode: 5012713005918
Batch numbers: P0062511 and P0062954

British Airways pilot suspended over claims he left cockpit door open to show off

A return flight was cancelled due to the breach It's always fun to bring your family to work. Unfortunately, a pilot found out the hard way that there are limits to adhere to on such occasions. The family of a British Airways pilot was aboard Flight 173, a Boeing 777-300ER from London to New York. There were 256 passengers aboard when the flight departed. At some point, passengers reportedly noticed that there was something odd about the cockpit door - it was open. Passengers were uncomfortable A source told The Sun: 'Crew and passengers immediately noticed the cockpit door was open and wanted to know what was happening. It made passengers incredibly uneasy.' According to reports, the door wasn't merely unsecured for a fleeting moment. The source informed the outlet: 'The door was wide open for a significant time - enough for people to worry and comment.' As a result of 9/11, the law says cockpit doors remain locked and secured during flight, with specific protocols to be followed should they need to be opened. Since this didn't happen here, the pilot's colleagues turned him in when they landed. The pilot is back in the air The Independent reports that the pilot was suspended and the return flight to Heathrow was cancelled. After an investigation, it was decided that there was no security threat. The pilot was reinstated and is already back to work. In a statement, British Airways said, "Safety and security is our top priority." Solve the daily Crossword

Zoo asks for help naming its red panda cub

Members of the public are being invited to help name a critically important new arrival at Bristol Zoo Project: an endangered red panda cub whose birth marks a significant step in conservation efforts for the species. The female cub, born to first-time parents Neora and Laya on 26 June, has recently undergone her initial veterinary health check, confirming she is healthy and feeding well. Weighing 780g, she has been cared for by her mother, Laya, within nest boxes in the red panda habitat. Now almost two months old, the cub is anticipated to begin exploring her surroundings beyond the boxes. Nigel Simpson, head of zoo animals at Bristol Zoo Project, highlighted the significance of the birth, stating: "We are all thrilled to see Neora and Laya's new cub thriving." He added: "As a first-time mum, Laya has done a fantastic job of caring for her cub and ensuring it is safe, fed and well. This is a huge conservation win for this endangered species. The wild population is thought to be as low as 2,500 individuals, threatened by habitat loss and poaching." The cub's parents arrived at the zoo in 2024 as part of the EAZA's critical breeding programme, making her arrival "very special indeed." To celebrate the new arrival, the zoo is inviting the public to help choose a name for the cub. Keepers have shortlisted three options: Asha, meaning 'hope' in Nepali/Sanskrit; Banita, meaning 'cherished' in Nepali/Sanskrit; and Malika, meaning 'flower bud' in Nepali. Red pandas are indigenous to the eastern Himalayas and south-western China. These typically solitary creatures spend the majority of their day resting in trees, conserving energy.
