We told you back in November about aproduct recall on Air Runner Balance Boards being issued by Halfords as a precautionary measure "whilst a full investigation takes place". Today Halfords have issued an updated recall notice that states that certain of these balance boards "are not fully compliant with British Standards, and could also potentially pose a fire risk".
If you have one of the affected products you are advised to stop using it and to return it to a Halfords store for a full refund. You can read the updated recall notice issued today on the Trading Standards website here, and here is the notice in full:
