Major UK stores have been forced to issue product recalls for cushions, cheesecakes and sweets over concerns they may be unsafe.

Primark, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer are the three stores affected.

They have pulled the products from their shelves after warnings from the Food Standards Agency that manufacturing problems could mean the products pose health risks.

If you have bought any of the affected items, you should return them to the relevant store for a full refund.
