WATCH OUT: Bunnings urgently recalls popular garden buy over fears of 'serious' health risk to consumers
- Replies 4
Summer is well and truly here and for many Aussie seniors that means one thing – getting out into the garden to enjoy the sunshine!
There's nothing more therapeutic than tending to your beloved plants, pottering around in the dirt, and enjoying a little bit of nature (even if it is in your backyard).
But while you're busy making your outdoor space look beautiful this season, please be aware that there's a popular gardening buy that has been urgently recalled from Bunnings stores over potentially serious health concerns.
According to Product Safety Australia, five litres refill packs of Roundup F Weedkiller Fast ready-to-use herbicide have been pulled from Bunnings stores nationally due to packaging damage which may cause serious eye irritation if customers come into contact with the product.
The affected products were available for purchase at all Bunnings stores between March 1st 2022 and September 6th 2022. So far, four batch numbers have been included in the recall: AAC2B5550, AAC2E5860, AAC2F5973 and AAC2G6035.
If you have any of these products at home, please stop using them immediately or return them to your nearest Bunnings store for a full refund. For more information on this recall. Customers are also advised to contact the Evergreen Garden Care Consumer Advice Line on 1800 635 797 for further information regarding the recall.
We would also like to caution our members against using any chemical herbicides in their gardens as they have been linked to several health problems, such as an increased risk of Parkinson's disease.
Instead, you may want to check out this article where we share eight expert tips for getting rid of unwanted weeds naturally.
Stay safe out there, folks!
