Your product recall rights
PRODUCT recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods.
As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action.
But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk.
If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer’s website to see if a safety notice has been issued.
When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault.
If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety notice issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer.
They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice.
In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full redund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected.
You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item.
You do not need a receipt or proof of purchase to get your money back.
A statement on the website said: "IKEA has received reports of the extension leaf detaching from the rails and falling which may lead to the extension leaf collapsing.
"This has resulted in isolated reports of leg and foot injuries.
"Customers who own a GLIVARP table in white are asked to stop using the product and return it to an IKEA store for a full refund.
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding."
