Asda shoppers using common household device warned to ‘stop immediately’

By staff1 August 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

The Goblin handheld cordless vacuum is now being removed from shelves in what is known as a ‘product recall’ after it was uncovered that the device is a fire risk

UK households have been issued an urgent warning to stop using certain cordless vacuum cleaners, as popular models are being recalled due to a fire risk. The Goblin cordless vacuum is now being pulled from shelves.

A statement on the UK government’s website reveals: “It has been identified that in some units of the Goblin handheld vacuum, the battery may overheat. This could pose a fire safety risk if left on charge and unattended.”

The statement further clarified that the device “does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016”. The product in question is the GHV102W-20 model of vacuum. In other related news, Asda shoppers are furious after spotting unlikely chocolate bar on shelves.

The Goblin cordless vacuum is now being removed from shelves, after a fire risk was uncovered.

The label on the cordless vacuum indicates it was “produced for Asda stores”. A statement on Asda’s website advises: “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.”

Your product can only be returned if it carries one of the following site codes on the body of the vacuum. These site codes include 15A.08.20.115, 15A.10.21.181 and 15A.09.22.168.

However, any vacuum with the site code 15A.09.22.168A is not included in the recall, according to Asda – which competes with Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Marks and Spencer or MandS, Iceland, Waitrose and Ocado, reports Birmingham Live.

In a review online, one shopper said: “I find the suction very good but it doesn’t stand up on its own. It comes with one bracket with a sticker on the back to stick to the wall to help it stand up.

“No you plug it into any socket with the provided plug, the instructions say it’s best to remove all the fittings and just charge the top part of the hoover,” a second review said. One unimpressed review reads: “Doesn’t pick up hardly anything and it’s already broken only had it for 3 months.”

Another said: “Its easy to assemble but ive had it for months now and its actually stared spitting bits of dirt back out :/ so i wouldnt recommend it for carpet or pets!”.

“I brought this at the weekend and I’m not happy with it at all doesn’t work even put it on charge it’s not even charging and I am not happy about it at all,” wrote another.
