Home Bargains has issued a warning to shoppers about eight products, ranging from allergy eye mist to toddler toys, due to various safety concerns.
Customers of Home Bargains are being alerted not to use eight items because of different safety issues as the store announces a significant recall. The product warnings, which can be found on its website, detail why these items are causing concern.
If a customer discovers they have purchased a recalled item, they can typically return it to the retailer for a refund. However, additional steps may be required depending on the type of product and whether it has been used.
My First Drop and Roll Tower
Manufacturer TJ Morris Ltd is recalling this infant toy sold through Home Bargains and Quality Saves stores due to a “potential risk of choking”. This is because the rattling balls inside the toy are smaller than health standards dictate.

PIFCO Convector Heater with Turbo and Timer
Another product recall by TJ Morris Ltd via Home Bargains and Quality Save stores is due to a risk of overheating and fire. This is because some heaters have an incorrect fuse size, making the product more hazardous.

The affected batch codes are 596131/596133/596140/596141/596147/596148, which can be found on the side of the heater near the control panel.
