Our latest product recall is hair straighteners by Asda.
Asda are no longer selling the Asda Hair Straighteners with pink ceramic plates because they are at risk of overheating and shocking someone who uses them.
The model number of the Asda straighteners is ZD26 Barcode: 05052449208504 at the price of £7.96.
They have been removed from shops as a precautionary measure by Asda who have offered a full refund to the people who brought them. Asda have confirmed no receipt is required.
To ensure that you have the right product look for a label on the handle of the straighteners there should be a label that reads 15B. 10. 12. 106 – Model Number ZD26.
Asda have offered an apology and have told customers that if they need anymore help to call 0800 952 0101.
Can I make a claim against product recall?
The Consumer Rights Act dictates that all products must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described.
Before you decide to bring a claim forward, you should obtain photographs of the product and proof of purchase.
We can then asses the prospects of the case and advise you accordingly.
On the other hand, you can also contact manufacturer or retailer who may offer refund or compensation.
However, you should seek legal advice for any compensation offered as you may be entitled to much more than what they may offer.
At Oakwood Solicitors we have a dedicated team of solicitors who deal with all aspects of product liability.
