Every product recalled this week as charger sold on TikTok causes electric shocks
Several products have been recalled by government agencies this week, including the recall of some chicken items in Northern Ireland being extended, while two products sold on TikTok have been removed due the risk of electric shock.
Product recalls are conducted by the government for a variety of reasons and are usually handled by the Food Standards Agency or the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.
If a product you have purchased has been recalled, you have the right to get the item repaired, replaced or refunded by the store you bought it from.
Here are all of the product recalled for the past week:
On Tuesday, Grape Tree recalled raw unsalted Macadamia Nuts because Shiga toxin-producing E. coli has been found in a batch of the product.
The products are the 250g bag, with a best before date of 11 July 2026 and the batch code G41 5 101 250610.
E.coli organisms can cause severe diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and sometimes haemolytic uremic syndrome.
People who have bought the product are being advised not to eat it and to return it for a full refund by emailing info@grapetree.co.uk.
This charger that was sold on TikTok has been recalled due to the risk of electric shock.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards said it presented a "serious risk of electric shock" because the pins are not the correct length and cannot be safely plugged into the socket.
They said: "If the user touches the exposed pins, they could receive an electric shock."
The product can be identified with the following information:
Charger model number: 4220
Plug model number: LP-60L
Barcode: 911014096779
TikTok removed the item from its marketplace after the recall was issued on Wednesday.
This plug-in sensor sold on TikTok has been recalled for the same reason as the charger.
It has short pins, meaning it can present a risk of electric shock and cause uneven wear on the socket connectors, damaging the connection.
It can be identified with the following information:
Brand: Shenzhen Mingchuan lighting technology Co Ltd
Model: Listed as Model No. 603, but label states Model No. 608
TikTok removed the item from its marketplace after the recall was issued on Wednesday.
This recall only applies to Northern Ireland, with Kenneth Hannah recalling all of their raw Jersey milk after Shiga-toxin producing E. coli was found in it.
All two-litre containers with all batch codes and any use-by date have been recalled.
The recall was issued on Thursday.
Anyone who has bought the milk should return it to the place they purchased it from for a full refund.
Raw milk is unpasteurised, and it has been warned that it has a higher chance of developing dangerous organisms when compared to pasteurised milk.
This recall has been extended from last week because listeria has been found in more products.
The impacted products are:
SPAR Enjoy Local Cooked Chicken Pieces
SPAR Enjoy Local Cooked Chicken Slices
SPAR Enjoy Local Cooked Chicken Fillets
The original recall affects any of the above products with a use-by date of 21 May, the updated one also now includes the chicken pieces and slices with a use-by date of 23 May.
The impacted batches are: 5126, 5128, 5126, 5128, 5126.
Symptoms caused by Listeria can be similar to flu, but in rare cases, the infection can be more severe causing serious complications like meningitis.
Older people, newborn babies, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to a listeria infection.
The products should be returned to the stores where they were bought, where customers will be given a full refund. A receipt is not required for the refund. They can also call SPAR customer service on 0289 034 2733.
LXINSHU, which also trades under the name Xinda, has had its half-body climbing harness recalled.
The full product name is LXINSHU Half Body Climbing Harnesses, Thicken Widen Waist Protection Safety Harness, Safety Belt for Rock Tree.
It was sold on Amazon, and was removed when the recall was issued on Wednesday.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards said it had been identified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) but was not supplied with the required compliance documentation or markings to demonstrate that it has been adequately conformity assessed.
They said the lack of assessment may increase the risk to customers as the product may not perform as expected when relied upon for its designed use.
This infrared diesel heater, designed for use in medium-sized garages and workshops, has been recalled due to the risk of fire.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards it is possible for the combustion chamber to be overfuelled, leading to a temperature beyond intended parameters.

The product can be identified with the following information:
Brand: SIP Industrial Products

Volunteer record for litter picking group
A city litter picking group is reporting a record number of volunteers to help tackle the problem of dumped waste. Peterborough Litter Wombles Association said its membership had never been so high, with pickers passing 300 for the first time. The group, which formed in 2021, said in the last two years it had collected about 10,000 bags of rubbish, plus many larger fly-tipped items. The group's chairman, Harry Machin, said "all sorts of people from four-year-olds to pensioners approaching 80 love to litter pick". Mr Machin said he was thrilled to see record numbers coming together to clean up the city. "It is not all retired people - we have a lot of working volunteers too," he said. "There are lots of groups around Peterborough including PE4 Wombles and groups in the Ortons, Hamptons, Dogsthorpe and Bretton, all doing great work and very effective." He said there was a social aspect to joining a litter pick too - and it meant people could meet others and stay fit, while getting the satisfaction from their area being tidier. Samantha Dolby, 48, has been with the Wombles since last April and has a full-time job. "I maintain a Womble bin and the lamppost rubbish bags in my area, change them and gather them for collection," she said. She collected "sweet wrappers, vapes, tinned drink cans, alcohol bottles, fag packets, all sorts really", she added. "When I'm out and about, if I see any litter, I have to pick it up. I walk my dogs twice a day and always pick up something or other." Margaret Faulkner, 78, has volunteered since Peterborough Litter Wombles formed and said the public really appreciated what the group did. "What starts out as a quick litter pick for an hour turns into three hours, because everybody wants to speak to us. "Little children all seem to know me and say 'hello' - it really is lovely."

The church which was bombed for Hitler's birthday
On 19 April, 1941, South Merstham in Surrey received a very unwelcome birthday present. As German bombers returned from London having taken part in raids to mark the birthday of Adolf Hitler the following day, planes from the raid dropped a surplus parachute mine into Battlebridge Lane which created an 180 sq ft (16.7 sq m) crater and destroyed All Saints Church. The church was damaged beyond repair, but from its salvaged remains rose Canada Hall, which stands in the village to this day. Its church warden, Mary Kennedy, says she does not think people walking past recognise the significance of the new building – or its name. Speaking to Radio Surrey, she said: "The hall was built by Canadian soldiers billeted in the area. Everything in the building was built from salvaged material from the bombed church, except for some cement and paint. "Local people believed it was because of the railway. Every time the village got bombed it was shortly after a train had gone through. "I don't think people understand the history of it. They walk past it but not everyone realises why it is called that." The bomb did cause fatalities – 10 people died and the vicar of the church was severely injured. But from the ravaged church rose a new building. Initially intended as a temporary church, Canada Hall was consecrated in 1943 and dedicated in 1952. In fact, the church was one of only two in the country to be consecrated during World War Two – the other was built by Italian prisoners of war on the Isle of Orkney. Now, information panels in the church share the history of the old building and what has since replaced it. In its new form, Canada Hall now stands as a key monument to South Merstham's wartime history. Follow BBC Surrey on Facebook, on X, and on Instagram.
