IKEA warns: recall of garlic press due to health risk!
IKEA has initiated a recall for the “VÄRDEFULL” garlic press (item number 201-521-58) from the 365+ collection. The recall is due to a health hazard caused by possible metal parts that could come loose during use and be mixed with food. Products with the date stamp 2444 are particularly affected, but all copies sold should be returned to minimize the risk to consumers. This is reported by vol.at.
Customers are strongly advised to stop using the affected garlic press. Returns are possible at any IKEA store, even without proof of purchase. In return, customers receive a full refund of the purchase price. It is also pointed out that the recall was carried out at the request of the Austrian food safety authority, which underlines the urgency of the situation, as Puls24 reports.
Details about the recall
All copies requested to be returned are in black color. The danger posed by the garlic press is considered serious as small metal parts can fall off during use. IKEA appeals to all customers who have made a purchase to return their products as a precaution. The refund is straightforward, both with and without proof of purchase. If you have further questions, customers can contact the free IKEA hotline directly on 0800 / 081 061 or visit the IKEA website.
Product warnings and recalls are an important issue in the food industry. Operators of portals such as verbraucherzentrale.de regularly provide information about such incidents. These recalls often occur due to health risks or defects, and consumers should pay particular attention to such warnings.
The publication of recall information is important not only in Austria, but also in other countries such as Germany. The state portal lebensmittelwarning.de is operated here and acts as a central contact point for product warnings. Consumers can find out about current recalls there to ensure their safety. Given the large number of recalls issued due to contamination, incompatible ingredients or other health risks, it is advisable to regularly consult information on product warnings.
