Overview
- Customers who bought the OXO Good Grips Pasta Scoop Strainer are told to stop using it and return it for a refund, with Waitrose citing purchases from 15 May 2024 to 25 October 2025 and John Lewis from 17 May 2024 to 24 October 2025.
- OXO says a random Swiss test detected primary aromatic amine above permitted limits in a very small number of items from a single batch, while further independent testing of multiple batches did not reproduce the finding.
- The company has extended the recall across European markets as a precaution and says relevant authorities and distributors have been notified.
- Retail guidance includes in‑store or online returns for refunds, with proof of purchase required for items bought after 12 December 2024; John Lewis lists product code 81251702 and OXO cites model numbers 1190200V4MNLYK and 11338300UK.
- Primary aromatic amines are used in materials such as dyes and plastics and some are considered potentially carcinogenic; OXO states no other products are affected.
