Men's shaver urgently recalled with immediate warning issued to Irish shoppers
A men's electric shaver sold online has been urgently recalled over safety concerns.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (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.
The CCPC said: "The CCPC has safety concerns in relation to a Gertzy shaver sold by the seller GERTZY DIRECT on the TEMU platform. It has not been demonstrated to the CCPC that the shaver has been tested to the relevant safety standards.
"The model number is MG8018. There were approximately 18 of these shavers sold on the TEMU platform to consumers in the Republic of Ireland.
"If you purchased one of these shavers, please discontinue use immediately."
Anyone with concerns or questions about the item is urged to contact TEMU's Dedicated Customer Services department for further assistance via this link.
