Karl, from Hyndburn, Lancashire, said: "My man bits were smashed to bits. They were swollen, they were black and blue and unrecognisable in one bit.
"I don't know if they work or function because the area is very painful and sore still but I think it'll be okay. It was scary for a couple of weeks though.

Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item This led to a notice that owners of these models them until the problem is resolved.

Car dealer Nadia Adan slams claims she is mystery woman on beach with Conor McGregor
The Ashford Motors car dealer rubbished the notion that she is the dark-haired woman pictured kissing the MMA star. Social media star and Ashford Motors owner Nadia Adan has hit back at claims she is the mystery woman seen kissing Conor McGregor in a series of recently published pictures. Over the weekend, The Sun released photos of McGregor appearing to kiss the unindentified woman on a beach in Florida. It was reported the UFC fighter 'cozied up' with the dark-haired woman after taking a jet ski ride. The father-of-four has been engaged to his partner Dee Devlin since 2020, with the pair having been a couple for the past 16 years. Nadia Adan posted on her Instagram story. Photo: Instagram In response to the pics going online, Nadia hit back at any suggestion that she is the unnamed woman seen alongside the 37-year-old. Writing on Instagram, she said: 'For everyone messaging me, this most definitely is not me, rumours travel and people believe them. 'This could potentially destroy someone, pls be kind, thanks Nadia x.' The second-hand car dealer then followed that up with another short video on her story, stating she had been getting 'abusive messages' over photos that she is not in. 'I woke up this morning to a plethora of calls and messages. I asked myself 'who did I piss off today?' – it definitely wasn't the EV owners.' 'Now come on, this not me in the picture. I have been getting abusing messages all day long; people telling I'm breaking up families.' The Wicklow woman previously revealed in 2022 that when McGregor punched a punter in a pub for refusing to drink his whiskey, it cost her tens of thousands in a lucrative motor deal. Nadia Adan (left) and Conor McGregor (right) Today's News in 90 Seconds - July 15th 2025 The Dubliner had sold his BMW i8 to the car dealer before an American fan bid €250,000 to get their hands on a vehicle previously owned by the MMA star. "I had it sold for stupid money and I had a big deposit – then, obviously, that incident happened in the pub and your man called me up and said 'look, I don't like what he did' or whatever, and added, 'I'm not doing the deal',' Nadia previously told the Sunday World. 'Unfortunately, Conor went and did what he did to the guy in the pub and your man reneged on the deal and I said 'ah look, it's fine'.' McGregor was fined €1,000 in November 2019 for assaulting Desmond Keogh at the Marble Arch pub in Dublin's Drimnagh the previous April. Nadia has become one of the best known second-hand car dealers in Ireland through her company Ashford Motors, which has more than 233,000 followers on TikTok and another 128,000 on Instagram. 'I started doing fun videos,' she previously told Evoke. 'I would be hunkered down close to a car and viewers would have to try to guess the model. 'I had a low-cut top on and it sounds ridiculous, but it worked. People just didn't know what to do with me. "They put me in a glamour model box, and that's fine, but I wasn't that. I'm a businesswoman, I'm educated, I can talk the talk, plus I have my boobs on show.' Nadia, who had worked previously as a stockbroker, came to Ireland as a young girl with her mother after they fled their home country of Somalia as refugees. Her mother took on five jobs to put Nadia through college, where she got a Masters in Trinity College. 'I had always been into my cars and the guys I were working with always drove nice cars. I bought a nice motor and I ended up selling it one day on my lunch break in Tesco car park and I made a few bob on it, and that's when I said to myself 'that was a bit of fun',' she recalls. 'I was always doing a buy and sell, just buying and selling stocks. Dealing in cars is very similar.' She officially started trading at her Rathnew showroom in Co Wicklow in March 2020. Previously she had sold cars from her family home in nearby Ashford.

Hard-pressed Brits face MORE misery at the pumps as fears mount Rachel Reeves will hike fuel duty
DRIVERS already hammered by soaring motoring taxes could face fresh pain at the pump with a fuel duty hike. Top Tory Dame Priti Patel said a hike would mean a 'betrayal of working people'. The AA says motorists are already being squeezed, with Vehicle Excise Duty rising by £30 since 2022, plus millions more paid in parking charges, tolls and congestion fees. AA boss Edmund King also warned any rise at the pumps 'could be catastrophic' for the UK economy. He added: 'The added danger is increased duty simply fuels higher inflation. The strong message to the Chancellor is 'keep it down'.' READ MORE ON FUEL DUTY The AA says motorists are already being squeezed from all sides, with Vehicle Excise Duty jumping from £165 to £195 since 2022, and millions more paid in parking charges, tolls and congestion fees. Drivers of older cars, including popular models like the Ford Fiesta and VW Golf, also face a £160 tax hike when they are eventually forced to upgrade to newer vehicles. The Sun's Keep It Down campaign has helped freeze fuel duty since 2011 - saving drivers thousands but ministers are under pressure to find cash after billions were pledged to reverse planned welfare cuts. A Treasury spokesperson said: 'We extended the fuel duty cut this year, saving drivers £3billion, and we're investing £1.6billion to end the pothole plague by fixing up to seven million extra potholes.' Most read in Motors Pressed on whether she would raise taxes, Reeves said: 'Of course there is a cost to the welfare changes that parliament voted through this week and that will be reflected in the budget. 'But I'm also very, very clear that [the] stability that we've been able to return to the economy, which has enabled the Bank of England to cut interests rates four times, is only possible because of the fiscal discipline which is underpinned by the fiscal rules. Never Mind The Ballots Fuel Duty Debate "And we'll be sticking to those because they're absolutely vital for the living standards of working people and also the costs that businesses face.' 1 Hard-pressed Brits could face a fuel duty hike after Labour's welfare U-turn
