ASDA has issued an urgent product recall for a cordless vacuum over concerns that it could go on fire when left unattended.
The Goblin GHV102W-20 White Mini Handheld Cordless Vac is sold in stores across the UK and is said to have battery issues.
Describing the issue, the supermarket giant said: "ASDA has determined that in some units of the Goblin handheld Vacs, the battery may overheat and could pose a fire safety risk if left on charge and unattended."

Explaining what affected customers should do, Asda said the product should be returned to the nearest store for a full refund.
The brand said: "Stop using the unit and return it to your nearest ASDA store for a full refund or exchange.
"We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused. If you would like any further information, please contact Asda Customer Relations on 0800 952 0101."
Products with the site codes 15A.08.20.115, 15A.10.21.181 and 15A.09.22.168 are affected by this recall.
It is noted that products with the code 15A.09.22.168A are not subject to this.
This comes after Aldi and Tesco issued "do not eat" warnings for various products this week.
Tesco recalled its Tesco Sandwich Pickle due to the possible presence of “small pieces of glass”.
The affected Sandwich Pickle comes in a 295g jar, has a batch code of 3254 and a best before date of September 11, 2025.
Aldi shoppers have also been warned not to eat two pork products from the supermarket as they are “unsafe to eat”.
The two pork products have been labelled incorrectly, with the wrong use-by dates used. The affected products are the Ashfields Grill Chinese Pork Loin Steaks and BBQ Pork Loin Steaks.
The recall affects 500g packs of the pork with use by dates of June 22.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
