High street retailer Argos is recalling products amid safety concerns, it has emerged.

The company, which boasts numerous stores across Coventry and throughout Warwickshire, has identified a potential safety concern with the Simple Value Food Processor.

In some instances it is possible to inadvertently disable the safety interlock mechanism on the lid, and for the safety interlock to break apart.

In some instances the broken part can become trapped which means that it bypasses the safety interlock mechanism and allows the food processor to be operated with the lid removed.

The company say it is important for customers to stop using the product immediately and return it to their nearest store for a refund.

If you still have the box, Argos receipt or ordering details the Catalogue Number (423/5345) will be shown.

If you do not have the original packaging you can identify the affected products by looking under the base of the product for the product rating plate label.

Affected products will be marked with the Model No. XB9018 on the product rating plate label.

For more information, you can contact Argos' customer helpline on 03456402020.

Last month, it was revealed Argos will pay £30million in compensation to store card customers who were charged "excess" fees.

The Home Retail Group, who own Argos, will write to affected customers telling them of the mistake.

The company further stated that they believe less than 1 per cent of customers were overcharged.

The refunds are understood to be on average less than £100.

Other product recalls affecting local consumers include Tiger's children products, Next shower gel and Kellogg's products.
