I ordered tapioca Pearls from Amazon for making bubble tea at home.

A few months later got an email.They were going to refund me.

Yes, frozen blueberries a few months ago. Apparently a few people who'd purchased the same batch ended up in hospital with listeria! Thankfully I had not yet consumed them.

@Wednesday Break My Heart has reminded me ... my car, too ... something about airbags the first time, brakes the second time and airbags again on the third time ... seriously, why don't they test these things properly before releasing them to market?

Yep. It was a toaster from Asda. It got recalled because it was electrocuting people I think. They said we could take it back for a full refund but I was too lazy to go at the time.

Yes, a car seat I bought got recalled. Luckily the email came through before my baby arrived so we never actually used it. We swapped it for a different one, but I was quite shocked something like a car seat could have manufacturing faults 😬

Also my car when it was about 8 years old. ‘The risk identified regards the possibility that the glue holding the glass on the rear door could detach. If this occurs, the glass will only remain attached by one fixation point.’ Mine got checked and was fine.
 
2 cars. And my son's cot, we got it when I was 6 months pregnant and it was recalled when he was nearly 2, worked out though as my daughter got a brand-new cot.
