⚠️ Product Safety Report for Vestel UK Plugs in Bush TiVo Televisions. 2 of 2

The products present a risk of fire as the plug fuse does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1362. A compliant, correctly rated fuse is required to ensure the safe operation of the product under fault conditions. Should a fault occur, the plug may overheat and catch fire.

This affects Vestel UK-branded plugs fitted to various models of Bush TiVo televisions sold by Argos from December 2024 – March 2026.

To check whether a product is affected and request a free replacement accessory (replacement power cable or fuse) you can visit: https://argos-productcheck.tmti.net/en/bush_tv_cable/start.html . Follow the online steps to arrange for a replacement plug and lead to be provided. Once the replacement plug lead has been received, customers should remove the original plug lead and dispose of it safely via a WEEE recycling facility. ⚠️

Does your child love these squishy dumplings? They’re the latest craze – with unboxing videos gaining millions of views.

But their popularity and high demand mean lots of fakes are now available to buy. And the counterfeit versions may contain harmful levels of dangerous chemicals.

✓ Buy from trusted retailers if you can – fakes may not meet our safety standards
✓ Check for proper labelling – missing safety information is a sign it’s fake
✓ If the toy is damaged, leaking or smells unusual, stop using it
✓ Avoid buying for under 3s - they’re most at risk from dangerous toys.

“Mae’n anghyfreithlon gwerthu cynhyrchion tybaco i unrhyw un a anwyd ar neu ar ôl 1 Ionawr 2009”.

“It is illegal to sell to***co products to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009”

Around 10 people die every day from smoking in Wales. 🚭

As the To***co and Vapes Bill receives Royal Assent and becomes law, Wales has reached a landmark moment for public health.

The new law will mean children born on or after 1st Jan 2009 can never legally be sold to***co. It will also introduce new powers to regulate va**ng products, including restrictions on marketing aimed at children. 🙌

But around 260,000 adults in Wales still smoke today, and this legislation alone will not reach them.

With the Senedd election just one week away, we are calling on the next Welsh Government to commit to the investment, enforcement and quit support needed to make a smoke-free Wales a reality for everyone.
