Urgent recall for range of Bunnings products
Safety authorities have issued a recall for weedkillers sold at Bunnings.
An urgent recall has been issued for three of Australia’s most popular weedkiller products.
The Roundup products are sold through Bunnings Warehouse’s across Australia.
The recall was initiated by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority.
Product Safety Australia issued notices about for Roundup F Weedkiller Fast, Roundup T Weedkiller Tough and Roundup P Weedkiller Path five-kilogram refill packages on Monday.
It said it was due to fears damaged packaging could lead to users being exposed to the products. That, in turn, could lead to serious eye irritation.
