Product Recalls
Manufacturers, importers and retailers have a legal responsibility to ensure the goods they sell are safe. Sometimes problems come to light after sale and remedial action is taken to correct faults.
Product recalls or safety notices are issued when problems are identified that could affect the safety of the user or consumer. They provide information on action you should take if you have bought the item and who to contact for further action.
The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) publish the latest product recalls on their website.
