Why it matters. Products that break, pinch, cut or fail suddenly can cause injuries ranging from cuts to fractures.

Refunds, repairs and replacements

Contact the retailer or the brand using the details in the official notice. Keep your receipt, order confirmation or bank statement if you have one, but a recall remedy should not depend on it.

If you paid by credit card and the item cost more than £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act may let you claim from the card provider. For smaller amounts or debit cards, ask your bank about a chargeback.
