Home Bargains urgently recalls EIGHT products and issues ‘do not use’ warnings over safety fears
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:
Optivive Allergy Eye Mist – Soothing 10ml
Em Pharma is urging customers to stop using its Optivive Allergy Eye Mist – Soothing 10ml with expiry dates 02/2026 and 04/2026.
This is due to potential contamination and is a precautionary measure.
Customers can contact EM Pharma customer careline at quality_email@empharma.co.uk for a full refund or return the product to their local Home Bargains.
Customers who have used the product and are suffering symptoms of an eye infection, including reduced vision or a red, painful eye, should seek medical advice immediately.
They should also inform healthcare professionals that they have been using the recalled product.
My First Drop and Roll Tower
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 is because the rattling balls inside the toy are smaller than health standards dictate.
Parents are urged to stop using the toy and return it to the retailer they purchased it from for a full refund.
Pifco Convector Heater with Turbo and Timer
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.
