The slow cookers are fitted with KDJ brand plugs.

A safety concern has been identified. On a very small number of units, the plug may unexpectedly break to pose a risk of electric shock through live parts being exposed.

Tesco is recalling affected slow cookers as a precautionary measure.

No other Tesco products are known to be affected.

Model numbers can be found on the white label attached to the base of the slow cooker.

KDJ plugs can be identified by the letters KDJ printed between the two base pins on the plug.
