OPSS is urging consumers to check any Vevor products they may have recently purchased.

Four of the Vevor products recalled.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is urging consumers to check any Vevor products they may have recently purchased, directly from the company’s online marketplace or through others, following more than 90 recalls and safety alerts.

In response to the unusually high number of affected goods, the UK’s product regulator has issued an Important Safety Message, where consumers can check the affected items, ranging from welders and drills to waffle makers and milkshake machines for both business and domestic use.

Vevor customers with affected products should follow the instructions on the Vevor webpage to return the product and receive a refund. They should stop using affected Vevor products immediately.

Said OPSS Chief Executive Graham Russell:

OPSS will continue to hold Vevor to account. We will take enforcement action if we have evidence that they are not taking the necessary steps to address the issue. Businesses placing products on the UK market must make sure they are safe for consumers.
