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

Urgent product recall over TikTok shop item with ‘serious risk'
Urgent product recall over TikTok shop item with 'serious risk' The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has issued a recall notice for the Chinese-made product that has been sold via the viral social video platform TikTok users have been warned about one product they may have purchased via the app (Image: Getty Images ) TikTok shop customers are being urged to avoid using one product that carries a "serious risk" to health and safety. A Government department has issued a recall notice for the item, which has been sold via the viral social video platform. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) says it does not adhere to safety regulations. The Chinese-made product is a lithium-ion (or Li-ion) charger designed for use with electrical appliances such as laptops and smartphones. The black charger comes with a black plug and power supply cord but the OPSS says it is unsafe "due to poor internal construction". As such, it presents a risk of electric shock to its users. Anyone who has bought the product should contact the distributor immediately. An OPSS spokesperson said: "The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the pins are not the correct length and cannot be safely plugged into the socket. If the user touches the exposed pins, they could receive an electric shock. "Improvements are also required to marking, labelling and documentation. The product does not meet the requirements of the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994. Article continues below The product has now been removed from the TikTok marketplace (Image: undefined via Getty Images ) "The products have been recalled from end users. Owners of the product are advised to contact the distributor they purchased from to request redress. "The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (TikTok)." The product details are as follows: How to report unsafe products The Li-on charger being recalled by the Government (Image: OPSS ) If you believe a product is unsafe and poses a risk, it's crucial to report your concerns. In England and Wales, the OPSS recommends that you contact the Citizens Advice consumer helpline. If you're in Scotland, get in touch with the Advice Direct Scotland consumer helpline. For those in Northern Ireland, your local district council should be your point of contact. The OPSS advice reads: "Your complaint may be referred to the relevant local Trading Standards Service or Environmental Health Service in Northern Ireland. Your information will help decide if they need to take any action. "You may be entitled to a refund, a replacement, or a repair if there is a safety issue with a product you own. Article continues below "If an unsafe product results in injury to you or your family, or damage to your property, you may be able to claim compensation, depending on the circumstances."
