Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that recalled electrical goods are not offered for sale; and if he will make a statement.

Electrical products intended for use by consumers, are regulated under the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations. The Government is clear that when a safety issue is identified in a product already on the market, corrective action should be taken swiftly and with sufficient resource to ensure it is effective.

Retailers, including retailers of second-hand goods, also have a duty to ensure that any products they sell meet the legal safety requirements and are not subject to relevant corrective action.
