Product Recall and Safety Notice
On the 19th March 2022 I purchased a "Silentnight Smart Wi-Fi Plug - model A6". Today (17th March 2026) I received a message stating that this item has been recalled due to a risk of fire and electrocution? Silent Night tell you to bin the unit and they offer as a gesture of good will a voucher for £10 to spend on their website "sleepypeople.com".
This is a total joke, this company have endangered my family and my property for the last four years and they do not even offer a full refund. They now want me to jump through hoops to get a poxy voucher that I will probably never use all because they could not source safe products.
The following information from Trading Standards / Citizen Advice regarding product recall requirements is obviously wrong?
Full Refund/Replacement: If an item is recalled, you are entitled to a remedy that makes you whole. If a repair is not possible or safe, you should get a FULL REFUND.
Proof of Purchase: While retailers may ask for a receipt, you should still be able to get a refund or replacement without one if you can prove it is the affected model (e.g., photo of the model number).
Timeframe: You can claim for a recall even if you have owned the product for a long time, as these are safety-driven rather than warranty-driven.
My next port of call is the retailer I purchased this item from, obviously the manufacturer & the website in collusion with this process is not to be trusted.
