UK product recalls and safety alerts

Understand the list

Product recalls, safety reports and alerts are different

A product recall concerns a specific product and may ask owners to stop using it, return it, arrange a repair or follow another corrective action. A product safety report can record a specific product where measures other than a recall are being taken. A product safety alert can address a category or sector where a serious risk requires attention.

Always open the record and follow its stated action. A similar appearance or product name is not enough: compare the model, batch, barcode, seller and other identifiers.

Where can I see current UK product recalls and alerts?

This page highlights recently updated FOLO-UP records marked serious or high risk. Use the complete Recall Finder to search all available product recalls, product safety reports and product safety alerts by product, brand, model, official reference, risk or notice type.

Does this unsafe-products list include every product?

No. This priority view is not an exhaustive list of every unsafe product or every specialist recall scheme. It presents recently updated serious and high-risk records available to FOLO-UP. The absence of a product is not proof that it is safe.

What should I do if I find a matching recalled product?

Open the record, compare the model, batch, barcode and other identifiers, and follow the stated corrective action or manufacturer instructions. Stop using the product when the notice tells you to do so.
