The product did not meet safety requirements

Britons have been alerted to a recall of over a dozen cushions sold in the UK due to them presenting "a risk of fire".

The cushions were sold in several retailers, including Card Factory, Clintons, Amazon, and WHSmith. One of the pillows was also sold in Tesco, which recently issued a recall.


The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) warned Britons of the recall.

It said: "The product presents a serious risk of fire as they do not meet the required fire safety standards."

A recall has also been issued for a toy sold in the UK due to it presenting a "serious risk of choking".

The OPSS has issued a recall for Mr Pickles Douglas the Deer Soft Toy, sold before November 15, 2024.

The toggles on the backpacks can easily detach, creating small parts that pose a choking hazard to young children.

The children's toy fails to meet the requirements set out in the Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011.
