What are my rights to a refund?
You might be entitled to a refund on a recalled product if it was deemed to be unsafe.
If it's food and caused you to become ill, for example.
If it's something like a household appliance or car, the business who made it might be able to fix it free of charge.
If a fault makes a product unsafe to use — and it's difficult to correct the fault — the Consumer Guarantees Act says you might have the right to reject the product and claim a replacement or a refund.
