The Food Standards Agency (FSA) and the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) have issued new product recalls affecting major retailers including Amazon, Morrisons, and TikTok. Consumers are urged to check their purchases and return any affected items for a full refund.
Amazon Recalls Water Beads Over Choking Risk
Amazon has recalled its 50,000pc Water Beads due to a high risk of asphyxiation. The product fails to meet the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. If swallowed in hydrated form, the beads can block a young child's airway. Customers should immediately stop using the recalled items and contact the distributor for redress. The product is no longer available for sale.
Morrisons Recalls Coronation Chicken Pasta Over Undeclared Milk
Morrisons is recalling its 230g Coronation Chicken Pasta with a use-by date of June 30 because it may contain undisclosed milk, posing a health risk to those with milk allergies or intolerance. A Morrisons spokesperson said: "If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to milk do not eat it. Instead, please return it to the nearest Morrisons store to receive a full refund. We don't need a receipt." The retailer apologised for the inconvenience.
TikTok Recalls Baby Floats and Neck Floats Over Drowning Risk
TikTok has recalled Baby Floats with Canopies because the canopies may increase wind resistance and affect stability, presenting a drowning risk. Additionally, Baby Neck Floats are being recalled as they may place inappropriate pressure on an infant's neck, restricting movement or airway positioning. Both products fail to meet the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. Listings have been removed, and customers should stop using the items and contact their place of purchase for redress.
The OPSS stated its primary purpose is to "protect people and places from product-related harm, ensuring consumers and businesses can buy and sell products with confidence." Recalls are published regularly on the government website, and affected customers are entitled to a free replacement, repair, or refund.
