Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Amazon is recalling a ceiling fan over safety fears Credit: The Office for Product Safety and Standards say the China-made product has poor insulation and gaps between insulation and wiring. Over time, the insulation could wear down, exposing live wires and giving the owner an electric shock. Any further imports of the hot weather essential have been blocked by border forces. The ceiling fan comes with two different product codes which identify it - FBA15JYLVF9HU000040, X0027BDFWD. The mounted ceiling fan comes with a "high" risk level. Typically with product recalls, you can return an item to the seller and get a full refund. However, it is not clear if Amazon is offering a refund to any customers who bought the A-Faction856 fan. If you have bought one, it is worth contacting Amazon UK's customer service team.

Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons were also recalled by the online marketplace following safety concerns. The toy was available in a pack of six for £18. It also pulled its Sedom table lamp after it was found to have a risk of causing electric shocks. OTHER RECALLED PRODUCTS Locisne pulled its Hamster Plush Toy from store shelves recently - with concerns it could present a serious risk to life. Elsewhere, Pieminister Kitchens confirmed that several of its products were given the wrong use-by date. The pies were mistakenly labelled with a use-by date of June 24, 2026, instead of June 24, 2025 – a full year too late. The popular food brand warned that eating the pies past the intended expiry date would be unsafe.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has now banned all imports of the Moongiantgo Food Dehydrator. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 There are serious fire risks with the product, and it has been pulled from UK sales Credit: The entire product appeared to be riddled with issues, including faults with its fuse. On the OPSS website, it states: "The product is a serious risk of fire as the fuse has insufficient granular filler to ensure safe operation under fault conditions. "If the product experiences an electrical fault whilst in use, it may catch fire or explode." According to the body, it does not meet the requirements of Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and Sockets Safety Regulations 1994. The product was used to dehydrate various food items such as fruits, herbs, vegetables and meats. A similar item listed on Amazon, which meets the regulation standards, says it is fitted with a high-powered rear fan which delivers "consistent airflow throughout". The description reads: "A sleek digital control panel gives you full command of the dehydration process. "Set the temperature anywhere between 30°C and 90°C, and use the programmable timer for up to 24 hours of continuous drying." Another Amazon product was recalled over serious risk of injuries.

"The product also requires improvement to marking, labelling and documentation." Another children's toy was removed from the website over fears it could cause serious injury.

The blue and yellow sea-themed swim seat, intended for babies and toddlers, poses a 'serious risk of injuries', according to the Product Safety Report.

Popular kids' toy sold on Amazon urgently recalled over 'serious' injury risk
Parents have been warned after a popular summer kids toy - sold on Amazon - was recalled over fears it could pose 'serious risk of injuries' due to 'accessible magnets with a magnetic flux index' A popular children's toy sold on Amazon has been recalled over fears it could pose a "serious risk of injuries". Parents have been warned not to let their kids use a specific plaything, previously available from the major online retailer. The Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons have since been removed from the website after the product recall - following fears around the safety of the items. The toy posed a safety risk because "it contains accessible magnets with a magnetic flux index that exceeds the acceptable level", according to the item's risk description. The water balloons were available to buy in a pack of six and retailed for £18. The risk description also said: "Small, high-powered magnetic products can easily be swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract. The product also requires improvement to marking, labelling and documentation." The Office for Product Safety and Standards listed the recall and said the toys were sold via Fruggo. It said: "The product has been recalled from end users. The listings have been removed by the online marketplace (Fruugo)." It added that these toys did not meet the regulations of the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011. The toy was described as a "bag of colourful reusable water balloons, sealed with magnets" and the country of origin was said to be China. This comes two months after Easter toys sold at Home Bargains were urgently recalled due to concerns they could cause children "to choke". The retailer urged shoppers who bought the Happy Easter plush toys to return the product to stores. The company's website stated that the product, distributed by TJ Morris Ltd and sold in their stores, posed a "serious asphyxiation risk". This was due to the internal fibrous stuffing material - which could easily be accessed by kids because the stitching around the toy was weak. The toys were available in three variations – a yellow chick, a pink rabbit, and a white rabbit – and were all removed from sale. The affected toys had the barcode 10811016. Toys haven't been the only items hit with product recalls recently. Lidl was forced to pull a popular protein bar from shelves due to health fears. The Cookies & Cream Protein Bars, made by Healthy Fit, were removed from stores in Northern Ireland because they contained milk and soya. These items, which are common allergens, were not declared in English on the label. This therefore posed a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, and/or an allergy to soya.

The alert was issued in the UK following a border inspection. The Office for Product Safety and Standards also issued a recall for the Get Set Play Jumbo Balloon Pumper over concerns that the product could shatter. The red and blue plastic water balloon pumpers are available at shops like B&Q and The Works. It contains 300 multi-coloured balloons which can be inflated using the pumper. However, the product design failed to include a mechanism to prevent it becoming over-pressurised. Smyths have also pulled a magic tricks box from the shelves after a chocking hazard saw it fail to meet safety requirements.
