- Replies 0
Cooking tools are exposed to extreme conditions such as heat and cold.
Therefore, these tools must be held up to a higher standard.
Yet, one cooking tool vanished from Bunnings shelves nationwide, which raised serious safety concerns.
Product Safety Australia (PSA) recalled the Inkbird Digital Food Thermometer, a culinary gadget available on Bunnings shelves nationwide.
According to the PSA, the thermometer's BG-HH2C model has been identified as a potential hazard.
It failed to meet the stringent battery standards required for consumer safety.
The recall also affected thermometers sold between November 2022 and July 2024.
PSA also warned that the thermometer's packaging may not be child-resistant, for it could pose significant risks to young children.
'There is a risk of choking, severe internal burn injuries or death to young children if they gain access to the button batteries and swallow or place them inside their body,' the PSA recall wrote.
Bunnings quickly responded to the recall by removing the item from both its physical and online stores.
Customers who have the Inkbird Digital Food Thermometer were urged to stop using the product immediately.
They also urged users to keep it out of children's reach.
Bunnings started offering full refunds to those who will return the thermometer, reflecting their commitment to customer safety.
This recall is a reminder of the importance of product safety, especially when it comes to items that could potentially be within reach of children.
It also highlighted the ongoing challenges manufacturers face in ensuring that their products comply with the highest safety standards.
