Tesco urgently recalls Valentine's Day gift as customers told 'stop using immediately'

Tesco has recalled a Valentine's Day mug due to a burn risk and urged customers not to use it.

Tesco has issued an urgent recall for its F&F Home Valentine's 'You'll Do' XL Mug, which poses a significant burn risk to consumers. The retailer advised customers to cease using the product immediately, as it may crack when hot water is poured into it, potentially leading to severe burns from leaking hot liquid. All batches of this particular mug, identifiable by the barcode 5063446721248, are included in the recall.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) highlighted that the mug is adorned with black and white text stating 'you'll do' alongside a red heart, and these aesthetic features have been overshadowed by the safety concerns raised. Tesco's action reflects a commitment to consumer safety, as they have urged shoppers to return the item for a full refund.

The recall comes during the Valentine season when many customers are purchasing gifts, emphasizing the importance of vigilance from both retailers and consumers regarding product safety. This incident highlights potential risks associated with seemingly harmless consumer products and serves as a reminder for shoppers to remain aware of safety warnings regarding the items they purchase.
