Three of the UK's leading supermarket chains have issued urgent product recalls for a range of homeware items, warning customers of potential safety hazards. Asda, Sainsbury's, and Marks & Spencer have all published notices advising shoppers to stop using the affected goods immediately due to risks including non-compliant fire retardant materials, overheating, and items that could crack or ignite.
Details of the Supermarket Recalls
Asda has recalled its George Home seat pads and cushions after discovering that some items contain filling that does not comply with fire and furnishing regulations. The products, which were sold between 2020 and 2025, may not be fire retardant (FR) compliant. The supermarket has urged customers to return the items to any store for a full refund, with a receipt not required. For further assistance, contact Asda Customer Relations on 0330 053 0111.
Sainsbury's has pulled its Habitat Mango Wood Taper Holders in both large and small sizes from sale. The retailer identified a potential fire hazard, stating the holders could catch fire. Affected customers can return the product to any Sainsbury's store for a refund or call the careline on 0800 028 8303.
Marks & Spencer's Dual Recall Notice
Marks & Spencer has flagged two separate recalls. The first involves M&S Neon Candles, which the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) says may flare up while burning, posing a fire risk that could spread to nearby objects.
The second recalled product is the Kelly Hoppen Debossed Cappuccino Cups. The OPSS warned that the ceramic base may crack or break unexpectedly during use, presenting a risk of injuries and burns.
What Shoppers Need to Do
All three retailers have advised customers who have purchased any of the affected items to stop using them immediately. Consumers should return the products to their respective stores to receive a full refund. For the M&S items, customers can also contact customer services on 0333 014 8555.
These recalls highlight the importance of product safety vigilance, especially for items used in the home. Shoppers are encouraged to check their recent purchases against the recall lists and act promptly to ensure their safety.
