Car parts and accessoriesThe tyres may develop bulges and separation of the tyre sidewall may occur. This may lead to rapid pressure loss or reduced performance in the tyre.
General product safetyThe recall is due to the presence of an undeclared allergen (egg).
Baby walkers and exercise jumpersThese products have some of the features of a stroller, but are unsafe for use as a stroller to transport children as they do not have the safety features required under the mandatory standard 'Consumer Product Safety Standard for Prams and Strollers (Consumer Protection Notice No 8 of 2007, as amended on 14 February 2019)'. These products are missing safety features and labelling and the locking device can be operated easily by a child.
Car parts and accessoriesThe light fitting or pin switch inside the canopy may have been incorrectly assembled.
Gas products and appliancesWater or moisture may enter the ignition module causing it to fail. This may result in overheating and sparking in the relays and lead to the plastic casing of the ignition module catching fire and/or create a 'false' call for heating, allowing the heater to operate when in the 'OFF' position, bridging the safety circuit and allowing the heater to operate with no water flow.
