Hot water bottles from TikTok shop urgently recalled over fire risk
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The bottles, made in China, have been removed from online selling platform TikTok Shop, where they had been on sale. The bottles have no thermal protection and the adaptors have wrongly sized pins (Office for Product Safety and Standards)"
The Independent emphasizes the importance of on-the-ground journalism across issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech. The outlet funds investigative work such as probing political PAC finances and producing documentaries about American women's fight for reproductive rights. The outlet offers free access to reporting without paywalls and seeks donations from readers to support field reporting and balanced coverage. Separately, Southern Arbor electric rechargeable hot-water bottles have been recalled for posing a serious fire hazard. Safety officials warn the bottles lack thermal protection and use adaptors with wrongly sized pins, increasing the risk of overheating and ignition during charging. Buyers are urged to stop using affected products.
