ALDI has issued a warning to customers who purchased its garden furniture.
The popular hanging egg chair, which is known to sell out immediately, is included in the items that pose safety concerns.

The supermarket giant released a statement today advising customers who bought certain garden products to dispose of the current cushion covers.
It said: “As a precautionary measure, we are sending replacement cushion covers to all customers who have purchased the following garden furniture products between February 13 2022 and April 20 2022 only.”
This is because the cushion covers’ fire-retardant effectiveness may deteriorate over time, posing a safety hazard.
All other aspects of the furniture are regarded as safe though.
The following furniture items with cushion covers that need disposing of are as follows:
- Bench add on rattan effect, all colours – product codes 718472, 718473, 718474
- Ad on stool two pack, all colours – product codes 718488, 718489, 718490
- Cushion rattan effect corner set – product code 718487
- Rope effect coffee set 3 piece – product codes 812106, 812664
- Rattan corner sofa set (without cover), all colours – product codes 718220, 718221, 718222
- Hanging egg chair with cover (UK only) – product codes 812611, 812612
- Hanging egg chair – product codes 812599, 812606, 812608.
Customers who bought these products in store should contact Aldi’s customer service team on 0800 042 0800 (UK), or 1800 991 828 (Ireland) to arrange delivery of replacement cushion covers.
And customers who purchased online in the UK will be contacted via email and automatically sent replacement covers.

We have asked Aldi for a comment on this matter and we will update the article when we hear back.
Earlier this month, Tesco issued warnings over biscuits that potentially contained pieces of metal.
And just before Easter, Kinder products were urgently recalled over salmonella risks.
Meanwhile, McDonald’s is set to axe seven items from its menu tomorrow – including the Big Tasty and Creme Egg McFlurry.
