Mitchum, eBay, Amazon, Tesco, Lidl, Next and TK Maxx are among the UK retailers who have recalled products.

Some are individual recalls by manufacturers, such as Mitchum's 48-hour 100ml Roll-On anti-perspirant and deodorant, others are conducted by The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) on items sold at some of the UK's biggest supermarkets and retailers.

Mitchum 48-hour 100ml Roll-On anti-perspirant and deodorant recall

Some batches of the Mitchum 48-hour 100ml Roll-On anti-perspirant and deodorant sold in the UK, Ireland and South Africa, have had an issue.

According to the manufacturers, this stemmed from a change in the manufacturing process affecting one of the raw materials used in select batches.

A statement on their website says: "We have also confirmed that the vast majority of product currently on shelves is unaffected, and we are actively working with retailers to remove all affected units."

It adds: "The vast majority of product currently on shelf is new stock and we are working with retailers to remove all effected product that remains on shelf. We would urge any consumers experiencing issues to discontinue use of the product (or any other anti-perspirant) until irritation subsides and contact Mitchum Customer Care so we can make it right."

Here are the other recalls issued by major retailers:

Amazon phone charger recall 

Amazon has recalled a Type-C Power Adapter, as, according to the Office for Product Safety and Standards it "presents a serious risk of fire as the mains supply cord has excessive resistance, and the fuse has insufficient granular filler."

Model SM65CL-01 with SKU 6-DY15-B0L25-HM65 is described as a "black rectangular power adapter marked with 65w in the right corner."

The listing has been removed by Amazon and is no longer for sale. There's more information in the full recall notice .

Air fryer recall

Shoppers at Tesco, Argos, Poundland, B&M and other popular UK stores have been issued a warning after a range of Tower Air Fryers were recalled.

The Air Fryers are at risk of overheating, which can cause fires and result in them igniting during use.

Six models of Tower air fryers are affected by the recall, all in black.

They have been sold at a number of retailers including Tesco, Lidl, Argos, B&M, DID, Poundland, Robert Dyas and the Tower Housewares website.

These are the models impacted by the recall:

  • T17023 Tower 2.2Ltr Manual Air Fryer
  • T17061BLK Tower 4Ltr Manual Air Fryer
  • T17067 Tower 4Ltr Digital Air Fryer
  • T17087 Tower 2Ltr Compact Manual Air Fryer
  • T17129L Tower Vortx 8L Air Fryer (Lidl)
  • T17129 Tower Vortx 8L Air Fryer (Argos)

A spokesman for the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) warned that the air fryers did not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

Tesco recall

Supermarket brand Tesco has issued an urgent product recall for one of its most popular beauty products.

Tesco has told shoppers to "not use" the product after finding that it could pose a serious health risk.

Shoppers who have bought the Kind & Pure Facial Cleansing Wipes have been told to return the item to stores for a full refund.

The wipes have been removed from Tesco shelves after a microbiological risk was detected.

After testing the wipes, Pluralibacter gergoviae was found in several batches of the product.

Tesco has shared that this could make the product potentially unsafe to use, specifically for those with sensitive skin.

Pluralibacter gergoviae also risks severe infections for people with weakened immune systems or chronic illnesses.

Confirming the recall, Tesco shared: "As a precautionary measure, Tesco is recalling various Tesco Kind & Pure Facial Cleansing Wipes due to unsatisfactory microbiological testing and detecting the presence of Pluralibacter gergoviae, which can make these products potentially unsafe for use."

The following batch codes are affected:

Tesco Kind & Pure 25 Facial Cleansing Wipes 163g affected batch codes: 5128723, 5129723, 5130723, 5143723 5144723, 5145723, 5146723, 5163723, 5164723,5168723, 5169723, 5188723, 5176715, 5177715.

They explained: “The product presents a risk of fire as it can overheat and ignite during use.

“The product has been recalled from end users. Owners of affected products should stop using the product immediately and unplug it. 

“For further information, including checking if your product is affected and registering your product for a refund or replacement, please access the Tower Housewares webpage.”

Next recall

Next is recalling some of its clothing because of a risk of strangulation, as the shopping giant apologised to customers who have already purchased the clothes.

The Miss Summer Dresses and Knitted Top, Shorts and Headband Outfit Set have been included in the recall.

The affected item numbers are F83773, F83782, F83791, F83775, F83779, F83781 and F85623.

A Next spokesman said: "Miss has made us aware of a problem with the above items. Unfortunately, it's come to light that there's a potential problem with the decorative cords on the products which are too long.

"This could present a strangulation / choking hazard for children.

"As the above items don't meet strict technical specifications, Miss has taken the precaution of recalling the items, and request that you return your impacted product to Next immediately for a full refund.

"If you have given this item as a gift, please ask the recipient to contact Next as soon as possible. We are sorry for any disappointment caused."

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 eau 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.

“This is not authorised for use in cosmetics manufactured in Europe due to the risk of allergic reaction in sensitised individuals.

“The product has been recalled from end users by TK Maxx.

“If you have purchased this product, please stop using it immediately and return to any TK Maxx store.”

A TK Maxx spokesman added: “If you have purchased this product, please stop using it immediately and return to any TK Maxx store.

“You can get a full refund or replacement.”
