Amazon recalls
There are two recalls for products sold by Amazon.

A third update, issued yesterday, said: "The Salmonella found in this product has been linked to human illness after consumption of the product. The Salmonella found is resistant to several antibiotics and should not be disposed of in household waste nor flushed down the toilet. Details on how to return the product for secure disposal are included below.
"Reason for Update 3: This update is to make consumers aware of additional online platforms selling this product. This product has been sold on eBay, in addition to Amazon and Orgenism’s own website."

The second recall is for a piece of jewellery sold via Amazon. This has been removed from sale because it contains a “serious chemical risk” which could cause cancer.
The affected jewellery is a Dervivea metal ring and earrings with Amazon codes B0CT21SWWY (Ring) and B0DHV43HC3 (Earrings).
The product presents a “serious risk chemical risk” as it contains butylphenyl methylpropional, which is prohibited in cosmetic products.
An OPSS spokesman said: “The products present a serious chemical risk as the cadmium content was found to be greater than the maximum permissible limit in both the metal ring and metal earrings.
“Cadmium is harmful to human health as it accumulates in the body, can damage organs and may cause cancer.
“Owners of the product are advised to contact the distributor they purchased from to request redress. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).”
Lidl recall
Lidl has issued an urgent recall as a popular air fryer sold at the supermarket could be a potential “fire hazard”.
The supermarket is recalling the Tower eight litre dual basket air fryer which is sold in its stores.
The affected air fryers have a product code of T17129L.
No other Tower products sold at Lidl stores are impacted by the recall.
Tower is recalling the products “due to risk of overheating”, the retailer said.
It added that this could ultimately “present a fire hazard” to shoppers who bought the item.
“If you own one of the affected models, please stop using it immediately,” Lidl said in the recall notice.
Customers who bought affected air fryers have been urged to contact the supplier directly through www.tower-safety.co.uk.
They will then be able to see if their particular product has been affected and can access instructions for returning it.
The retailer added: “We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation.”
TK Maxx recall
TK Maxx shoppers have been warned to stop using one of the store's products immediately after it was revealed that it contained a potentially harmful chemical.
The Byblos Blu eua de toilette perfume contains Hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, also known as Lyral or HICC.
The compound is not authorised for use in cosmetics by manufacturers in Europe due to the risk of allergic reactions in sensitised individuals.
The recall affects the perfumes with TJK style numbers of 898378,898370 and 898365.
The Byblos Blu eua de toillete perfume was sold in TK Maxx stores between January and March 2025.
A spokesman for the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) said: “The product presents a risk to consumers' health due to the fact it contains Hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, also known as Lyral or HICC.
“This is not authorised for use in cosmetics manufactured in Europe due to the risk of allergic reaction in sensitised individuals.
