Asda recalls paper shredders

SUPERMARKET giant Asda has recalled scores of paper shredders after customers complained of suffering electric shocks.

The chain asked customers to return the Asda eight sheet diamond cut shredder when tests showed there may be a fault in the plug.

Vickie North, a spokeswoman for Asda, said they were recalling the product as a precaution.

She said: "A handful of customers experienced a small shock but there have been no injuries. This is not potentially fatal and is not causing injuries, it is more of a precaution."

She added that she did not know how many shredders had been sold.
