Homeware giant Range has been forced to issue an urgent safety notice affecting thousands of households across the UK. A popular home accessory sold in their stores has been found to pose a serious risk of injury due to a dangerous manufacturing defect.
What Product Is Affected?
The recall specifically targets the Range 2-in-1 Salt and Pepper Grinder Set. The critical fault lies in the glass body of the grinders, which can unexpectedly shatter or break during normal use. This presents a severe laceration hazard from sharp glass fragments, as well as a risk of contact with food contents.
Why Is This Recall So Urgent?
This is not a simple precaution. The product defect means that the grinder could break at any moment while being handled, filled, or used. Customers are being urged to stop using the product immediately to prevent potential injury.
"We are asking customers to please not use this product and to return it to their nearest Range store for a full refund," a spokesperson stated.
What You Need To Do
If you own this product, follow these steps immediately:
- Stop using the grinders and keep them out of reach of children.
- Carefully place the entire product in a secure bag to contain any glass.
- Take it to your nearest Range store for a full, no-quibble refund. You do not need your receipt.
Product Identification
The affected grinders have the barcode 5055974006626. They were sold both in-store and online. Range has confirmed it will be contacting all known purchasers directly, but is issuing a public warning to ensure no one is put at risk.
This urgent recall highlights the importance of product safety in the home. Range has apologised for any inconvenience and is working to remove the product from sale entirely.
