HOME Bargains has issued an urgent recall for eight products and has warned its customers not to use them due to safety fears.
The discount retailer has issued the notices for a range of products from allergy eye mist to youngsters’ toys.
The safety concerns vary due to the products affected as the high street store has announced a significant recall.
Those warnings can be found on the company’s website and details why each of the products has cause for concern.
Anyone who finds they have purchased a recalled item, they can usually return it to the store where they bought it for a refund.
However, customers may have to undertake additional steps depending on the type of product and whether it has been used.
The eight items are:

Manufacturer TJ Morris Ltd is recalling its toy for infants sold through Home Bargains and Quality Saves stores due to a “potential risk of choking”.

This product recall by TJ Morris Ltd is due to a risk of overheating and fire.
This is because some heaters have an incorrect fuse size, making the product more hazardous.
