What to do now

Neatcell Mole Remover Laser Pen sold on Amazon could cause burns or scalds.

  1. Stop using it and let it cool fully before you handle it.
  2. Put it where children cannot get to it.

Why it matters. Burns from appliances and heating products are common, and children are the most likely to be hurt.

Get help urgently

  • large or deep burns, burns on the face, hands or genitals, or any burn on a child — go to A&E or call 999

Getting your money back

A product safety report usually means the product was bought online and the marketplace has removed the listing. Ask the seller for a refund through the platform where you bought it; many marketplaces have their own buyer protection.

If you paid by credit card and it cost over £100, Section 75 may apply; otherwise your bank may be able to raise a chargeback.
