Garden Tools

Garden tools often seem simple, but they can pose major safety hazards — especially when sold online with missing parts or fake safety claims.

Tools such as:

• Chainsaws
• Hedge trimmers
• Electric strimmers
• Shears and pruners

have all been subject to FOLO-UP alerts. Common issues include:

• Exposed blades without safety guards
• Overheating electric motors
• Improperly insulated plugs and cords
• Missing or misleading conformity marks (UKCA/CE)

These tools are frequently offered at car boot sales, imported via dropshipping platforms, or rebranded with fake certificates.
