Several Cadbury brands may have listeria
Müller has taken the precautionary step of recalling some batches of various Cadbury-branded dessert products because of the possible presence of listeria monocytogenes. Listeriosis is a rare infection caused by the listeria bacteria, according to the NHS. It does usually go away on its own but can cause problems for some people and is why pregnant women are advised to avoid certain foods.

The Ring fast charge lithium jump starter
The purpose of this product is to provide a jump starter for motorcycles, cars, 4x4s and vans. It also acts as an LED torch and can be used as a power bank for phones and tablets.
However the product has been identified as presenting a high risk of fire. A manufacturing fault can lead to the sleeving on the battery cable being damaged by a solder pin of a component on the PCB. This creates the possibility of a short circuit and the PCB overheating. The proximity to a lithium-ion battery presents a risk of the battery igniting. The barcode is 5055175250151 and the batch numbers are 38/21 and 05/23.
