Urgent Aldi garden furniture product recall due to safety fears

Aldi is urgently recalling a popular summer Specialbuy with customers urged not to use it due to 'safety concerns'.

Bosses at the budget supermarket are urging anyone who purchased the outdoor furniture product to return it for a full refund due to safety fear stemming from a design fault.

Aldi's portable hammock has been immediately pulled from shelves as there is a “risk of injury” to customers.

In a statement, the firm said: "We are recalling this product due to a design defect that may cause the seam to split. Customers are asked to return this product to their nearest store, where a full refund will be given.

"We apologise that this product did not meet our normal high standards and thank you for your co-operation."

The hammock came in two colours - blue or green and yellow - and was priced at £44.99. All affected products will have the code 816216, which should be found on the receipt, The Mirror reports.

A description on the Aldi website for the product, which is now out of stock, reads: "Relax and unwind on this Portable Hammock with Stand by Adventuridge. This hammock features an integrated drinks holder, removable pillow and a magazine holder.

"Catch those summer rays out in your garden on this comfortable hammock."

Customers affected by the recall can contact Customer Service on 0800 042 0800 for more information. This is not the only outdoor item that the supermarket has issued a recall for in 2022.

Earlier in the year, Aldi asked customers to return a number of defective garden furniture items due to a fire risk.
