Product recalls must be taken very seriously to ensure customer safety.
Britons were recently warned as a decoration sold in the UK poses a “serious chemical risk”.
The decorative item also poses a choking risk to children and could puncture the skin.
Britons were also warned as retailer Next recalled several items in recent days.
Some items were pulled from shelves due to “contamination with mould”, while another item was recalled as it could cause “serious damage” if swallowed.
