Popular air fryer recalled from Wilko and The Range over 'serious risk of fire'
The Range and Wilko have pulled the kitchen product from shelves over concerns it could melt, warp or even catch fire. A popular air fryer has been recalled over serious concerns that the product could melt or warp when in use, posing a serious fire risk. Wilko and The Range have taken the product off of store shelves, and customers who have purchased the fryer are being urged to return it. The Haden air fryer was deemed by the Office for Product Safety and Standards as posing a 'serious risk of fire'. It was concluded by the safety watchdog that the kitchen gadget's maximum temperature could melt or warp the product's plastic, or could catch fire. The regulator warned: "The product presents a serious risk of fire as the heating element exceeds 150 degrees (the marked limit). After prolonged use on the highest setting, the plastic and metal parts can warp and melt, presenting a risk of fire.' It was also found that the piece of kitchen kit failed to adhere to the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016. Those who have purchased the product are being urged to return it to its place of purchase for a full refund. And the popular air fryer is not the only kitchen product to be recalled recently. Last week, Kenneth Hanna's Farm Shop in Northern Ireland announced that STEC (a deadly bacteria) was potentially found to have contaminated their Jersey milk. Customers are being urged not to consume or use Ken's Raw Jersey Milk and instead, return it or dispose of it. The recall, which applied exclusively to customers based in Northern Ireland, affected all batch codes and use-by dates of the two-litre bottles of the cow milk. An alert sharing the details of the milk recall was recently posted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which explained many of the symptoms associated with STEC organisms. These symptoms included severe diarrhoea, bloody diarrhoea and abdominal pain. In some cases, it can cause haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious condition that can lead to kidney failure and can be fatal. Anyone experiencing these symptoms has been advised to avoid going to school, work or nursery for up to 48 hours to avoid passing them on. STEC (Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli) is a specific type of that produces Shiga toxins, which are potent biological toxins that can cause severe illness in humans. O157:H7 is the most well-known STEC strain and is often linked to foodborne outbreaks from undercooked beef, raw produce, or unpasteurised dairy. Symptoms of an STEC infection typically begin three to four days after exposure but can range from one to 10 days. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

A small number of individuals with E. coli O157 infection progress to develop a serious condition known as haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). This can sometimes result in kidney failure and death, although this is rare. The risk of HUS is highest in children aged under 5 years. Some people become infected but don't exhibit symptoms. What is raw milk? Raw milk is unpasteurised, completely unfiltered, and cherished for its creamy taste and thickness. Advocates argue it's a natural superfood, teeming with gut-friendly bacteria, enzymes, and nutrients supposedly destroyed by pasteurisation. Some have suggested that it aids with allergies and digestion problems, with some believing it strengthens the immune system. But raw milk can be a double-edged sword, as demonstrated here. Unlike pasteurised milk, it hasn't been subjected to heat treatment to kill off bacteria, so it can put you at risk of health issues. and STEC, Listeria, and Salmonella can also be present in raw cow's milk.
