Asda urgently recalls popular £12.50 shoes over risk of dangerous ‘skin reaction' after illegal levels of metal found
ASDA is urgently recalling a popular pair of shoes after illegal levels of metal were found in the trim. The supermarket has confirmed that the £12.50 shoes have a risk of causing a dangerous 'skin reaction'. 3 Asda is recalling a popular pair of shoes Credit: Getty 3 The shoes were found to have illegal levels of metal in the trim Credit: Asda Asda is urgently recalling its George Ladies double buckle flatbed sandals in All Sizes. Testing found that the rivet part of the shoe's trim contains 'nickel levels that exceed the permissible limits under the REACH regulations' - according to Asda's website. The presence of the metal could cause an "adverse skin reaction' to some customers. The supermarket is recalling both the lilac and sage varieties of the product, which retail in Asda for £12.50. In a boost to customers, Asda are offering full refunds to anyone who bought the lilac or sage shoes. No other colours are impacted by the recall though. The chain has confirmed that no receipt is needed for the refund. On its website, Asda wrote: 'We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused. 'If you would like any further information please contact Asda Customer Relations – 0330 053 0111'. The news comes after Tesco launched an urgent recall of a hugely popular beauty product. Four simple ways to save money at Asda The supermarket's Kind & Pure Facial Cleansing Wipes were pulled from shelves after a microbiological risk was detected by experts. After testing, the Pluralibacter gergoviae bacterium was detected in some batches of the product. The bacteria can be unsafe for those with a compromised skin barrier and is even linked to respiratory diseases, weakness and fever in those with a compromised immune system. Both the Fragrance Free Camomile & Rosehip + Pro-Vitamin B5 and the Vitamin C Grapefruit & Cranberry Extract wipes were recalled.. The two sets of wipes failed to meet the requirements of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 or the Cosmetic Products Enforcement Regulations 2013. Meanwhile, a popular sweet sold at TK Maxx and Homesense stores between October 2024 and May 2025 has been recalled. The Lucky DIp Ltd.'s Jolly Rancher Block Bag is thought to contain additives not permitted in the UK making it unsafe to eat. Shoppers are being offered a full refund or replacement for the product as the Food Standards Agency (FSA), advises all retailers who sold the product to move quickly. Your product recall rights Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know. Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item

Shoppers have been warned "do not use" the product, and return it to a store if purchased. 1 Tesco has recalled their Kind & Pure Facial Cleansing Wipes Credit: Tesco The supermarket giant's Kind & Pure Facial Cleansing Wipes have been pulled from shelves due to detection of a microbiological risk they have been found to contain. Advertisement Following testing, Pluralibacter gergoviae was detected in batches of the product. This makes the product potentially unsafe to use, particularly for those vulnerable or with a compromised skin barrier. The recall includes two types of the Kind & Pure cleansing facial wipes, which are sold in packs of 24. One is the Fragrance Free "Camomile & Rosehip + Pro-Vitamin B5" biodegradable facial cleansing wipes. Advertisement The other is the Vitamin C "Grapefruit & Cranberry Extract" radiant facial cleansing wipes. Both of these wipes have been stated to pose a "serious risk" to consumers by the Office for Product Safety & Standards.

Recall of Tesco's facial wipes comes just after the supermarket chain also recalled three of their lunchtime favourites over fears of diarrhoea and vomiting if consumed. Three of their Pasta Salads were recalled in July over possible salmonella contamination, which has seen a significant rise in England.
