6Foot2 Posted July 10, 2021 Author Posted July 10, 2021 Link: Product Safety Notice – Recall of the Charging Case for ATH-CK3TW [Audio-Technica] We are very sorry to inform you that a fault has been reported that relates to the product safety of the charging case for the ATH-CK3TW. We take any such report very seriously. In response, we have made the decision to recall the Charging Case for the ATH-CK3TW from the market with immediate effect. The fault relates to a thermal runway issue. It has been reported that the charging case can heat up to the point of melting, causing smoke to be produced and the case could then be at risk of igniting. We are very thankful that nobody has come to any harm in any of the reported incidents or caused significant damage. While there have been no reported incidents within the European region or anywhere outside of Japan, we want to proactively prevent any further malfunctions. The safety and wellbeing of all of our customers is paramount, and our fundamental priority. IMPORTANT – If you own the ATH-CK3TW and would like to check if you have been affected, please follow the below steps: ATH-CK3TW Lot Number Check the lot number printed on a sticker inside the lid of the charging case. If the number on this sticker ends in “B”, your charging case does NOT need to be recalled. If you have a lot number sticker that does not end with the letter “B”, or where you do not see any lot number sticker present, the charging case will need to be returned to us and replaced. If you have been affected, once again, we are deeply sorry for this. Replacing the charging case will be a simple and free process for you. Please fill in the form below to register for the Charging Case replacement program, where you can set up a no-cost return of your affected charging case and receive a free replacement. REGISTER You will receive a new and safe charging case to enable you to continue enjoying your ATH-CK3TW truly wireless earbuds. The entire process is – of course – free of any costs for you. Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience we have caused. FAQ Should I stop using my CK3TW even if I have not experienced any problems? Yes. Although the actual CK3TW earbuds pose no risk, you should stop using the charge case with immediate effect – even if no problems have been experienced to date with it. Once Audio-Technica send you a free replacement charging case, you may continue to use and charge your complete product as before, without risk. Does my charging case now pose a spontaneous fire risk and is it dangerous? Yes. The charging case poses a fire risk when connected to power via the USB cable and whilst containing the earbuds inside the charging case. To stay safe, therefore, please do not place the charging case onto charge and remove your earbuds from the charging case. The lot number on my sticker has faded / been damaged, if it operates as expected can I assume that it had a lot number ending in a “B” and I do not need to return? No. If you either do not have the lot number sticker present or cannot read the lot number anymore, please err on the side of caution and arrange for the return and replacement of your charging case as advised. Will I need to send back my CK3TW earbuds as well as the charging case? No. You do not need to send back or replace the CK3TW earbuds. Only the charging case is affected by the fault. Please keep the earbuds in a safe place until you receive the replacement charging case. Will the replacement charging case be compatible with my CK3TW earbuds no matter how long ago I purchased them? Yes. The replacement charging case will work with all CK3TW models. I purchased my CK3TW from a retailer, do I need to return it to them to get my replacement case? No. If you are based anywhere within the European Union or the UK, we can replace your charging case directly and completely free of charge. Can I keep my CK3TW charging case as a spare if it has not experienced these issues? No. We will require the return of the affected charging cases in order to issue your replacement. We are recalling these charging cases as an important safety measure. We want to ensure there is no risk to you when using any of our products. Therefore, we will not be able to allow you to keep one of the affected charging cases, even if no problems like the one reported have been experienced. Which colours of the CK3TW are affected? All colours are affected by this fault. The exact model numbers are: ATH-CK3TWBK (Black) ATH-CK3TWWH (White) ATH-CK3TWBL (Blue) ATH-CK3TWRD (Red)...
6Foot2 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Posted July 28, 2021 Link: Oculus recalls Quest 2 headset pads after skin rashes - BBC News Virtual-reality headset-maker Oculus is issuing a recall for the foam padding in its Quest 2 headset, warning it can cause skin irritation. Facebook-owned Oculus said only a "very small percentage" of users were experiencing the problem. But it is offering a free cover - made of silicone - to all Quest 2 owners. Facebook also announced it was "pausing" Quest 2 sales and from 24 August all Quest 2 headsets would come with the new silicone cover. The revamped headset would also have twice the internal storage, for the same price. The problem with skin irritation was widely known among VR enthusiasts online and Facebook has previously operated a replacement programme for the small number of people affected. But this new "voluntary recall", following discussions with US and Canadian safety regulators, is global in scale, with Facebook emailing many of its Oculus customers. Zuckerberg wants Facebook to become online 'metaverse' Facebook's VR ads test loses first game Developer warns VR headset damaged eyesight The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said it had received 5,716 reports of irritation "including rashes, swelling, burning, itching, hives and bumps". But only 45 incidents had needed medical attention. And those numbers were out of an estimated four million headsets sold in the US. Facebook's VR and AR teams head Andrew Bosworth said: "While the rate of reports is small and the majority of reported cases are minor, we're committed to ensuring our products are safe and comfortable for everyone who uses them." Users can order the replacement "facial interface" on the Oculus website...
6Foot2 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Posted August 6, 2021 Link: Highland Spring recalls sparkling water after reports of glass bottles ‘exploding’ | News | The Grocer Highland Spring is recalling its 750ml glass sparkling water bottles following reports of the product exploding. The manufacturing error – which has forced the brand to recall up to 130,000 bottles – has left one consumer with a “minor cut”, a spokesman told The Grocer. Highland Spring has urged shoppers not to consume the product or return bottles to store, but to avoid unnecessary handling, safely dispose of bottles and contact the business to request a refund instead. This was a “precautionary” measure as there was a risk the glass bottles may explode and cause injury, said the Food Standards Agency. Highland Spring CCO Simon Oldham told The Grocer: “Three consumers have contacted us reporting that a Highland Spring sparkling 750ml glass bottle product has exploded, with one consumer suffering a minor cut.” The brand was working closely with the local EHO and its supplier to investigate and carry out further testing, he added. “These products have been in the market since May and this issue has arisen in the last few days, so we would expect the majority to have been consumed with the bottles now recycled.” Approximately 20,000-30,000 bottles could still be in circulation, said Oldham. “We believe the three consumer complaints have arisen from circa 100,000 bottles which have already been consumed,” he added. Products with the batch codes 1138, 1139, 1172, 1173, 1201 and 1202 and a best-before date of May-July 2023 have been recalled.

Further, there is no GMO authorised for this ingredient under UK law and so the products must be recalled. This recall applies to the above formats and batches ONLY.
