Electrical product recalls
If an electrical product is unsafe and likely to cause injury or damage property, it will be recalled as soon as possible.
Unsafe products are usually recalled by the responsible supplier—the Australian legal entity who imported the product. Consumers are then able to return the product for a refund, replacement or modification, or they may be requested to dispose of it.
Find products that have been recalled
Check electrical appliances and equipment in your home that may be under a recall on the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's website Product Safety Recall Australia.
Recalled items should not be used as they might cause electric shock, fire or property damage.
