Telecoms regulator ComReg has issued a Product Safety Information Notice urging consumers to stop using Ann Summers’ remote‑controlled rotating dildo – a 6.5‑inch replica sold in its stores and online from September 2025 to March 2026 – after safety tests showed parts can detach during use, posing a risk of injury. The UK Office for Product Safety and Standards also recalled the product (SKU 2008629) on 9 April 2026. Ann Summers says customers can return the item to any store or by post for a full refund, no receipt required, and are being offered a 20 % discount on their next purchase as a goodwill gesture. The recall comes as the retailer’s Irish arm, which operates stores in Dublin and Cork, reports a worsening loss of €220,000 for 2025 and a 3 % revenue decline to €1.8 million, reflecting broader challenges from inflation, higher costs and reduced consumer spending.
