BOOTS
The affected sets feature a two-tone design with the Radley logo displayed on the front.
The retailer warned: “We have been informed of a potential safety issue with the mug in this set. In some instances, the base of the mug is cracking and separating when in use, therefore, this product is being recalled.
“The safety and well-being of our customers is very important to us so we’re asking that you stop using the mug and return it to your nearest Boots store at your earliest convenience for a full refund.
“If you’ve bought this product for someone else, it’s important that you let them know about this as soon as possible.”
The Office for Product Safety and Standards added this could cause hot liquids to spill, “presenting a risk of burns”.
The recall affects sets sold between August 30 and December 6 this year. The product identification barcode can be found on the back of the gift carton.
Boots apologised to customers for any inconveniece this has caused and urged them to inform their loved ones if they had bought it as a gift.
It added: “If you do have any concerns or need any further advice, then please contact SLG Brands Limited on 0800 0590157 between 8am and 6pm.”
Water balloons previously listed on Amazon were also recalled
OPSS
This comes as another stocking filler sold on Amazon was recalled as it came with a “serious risk of injuries and choking”.
Those who had bought water balloons from Temu were urged to check their purchase as some packs are unsafe to use.
The OPSS said: “The product presents a serious risk of injuries and choking as when tested, the product broke apart when minimal force was applied, allowing access to the magnets.”These magnets were found to have a magnetic flux index greater than the maximum permissible level.
“Small, high-powered magnetic products can easily be swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract.”
