Similarly, One Stop sent notices, seen by Better Retailing, on 17 Feb asking stores to withdraw the above lines. The notice stated the withdrawal was due to a “legal” issue, which Better Retailing understands is related to incorrect labelling on packages. An affected store owner said: “Lost Mary isn’t a major seller for us, but this latest recall does create concern about the impact on consumer confidence.”
Last month, Elfbar was exposed for selling non-compliant disposable products, and was forced to voluntarily withdraw its ‘600’ line from the UK market.
At this stage, retailers from Nisa, Bestway and Spar had told Better Retailing they had not received withdrawal notices from their symbol groups.
