Most of these are listings from third-party sellers that a regulator, usually the Office for Product Safety and Standards, tested and found unsafe. The listing is normally taken down, but the product may still be in your home. Stop using it, then contact the seller through your eBay order history and ask for a refund. If the seller doesn't reply, the marketplace's own buyer-protection process is the next step, and paying by card gives you extra protection with your bank.
This list is built from the text of official notices from the FSA, Food Standards Scotland, OPSS and the MHRA. A product appears here when its notice names eBay as a seller or where it was sold. See recalls for other shops.
