BUT WAIT, there is more. We will have KIWI our very own tank engine, (he looks just like Thomas) there as well. This will be the first time out in public. Just the train for small children to get their photo in. We will be asking for donations for every child that has their photo taken. ALL DONATIONS WILL GO TO CHILD CANCER FOUNDATION for 2 days from the photo sessions. We will be there from Saturday 7th to Saturday 14th, 9 am to 4 pm daily.

It is now easy to check online if a product recall applies to you, as there is a Product Recalls database. Read about this on our website.
Earlier this year, the government issued just its second compulsory recall ever. That was a big deal because despite a voluntary recall for Takata airbags floating around since 2013, the government – taking a page from the Aussies – decided to step in after realising the recall was progressing … View moreEarlier this year, the government issued just its second compulsory recall ever. That was a big deal because despite a voluntary recall for Takata airbags floating around since 2013, the government – taking a page from the Aussies – decided to step in after realising the recall was progressing far too slowly, with less than a quarter of those affected in New Zealand replaced since 2013.
That kind of success rate, however, is surprisingly all too common for voluntary recalls. Consumer NZ estimates that “less than half” of product recalls actually work, and while it’s normally better for items where customers details are noted down (like cars), common household items that are cheap and easily replaceable (like indoor electric heaters) can remain in use months – even years – after a recall is issued.
Below is a selection of recalled items we think are most relevant to consumers (part two looks at items specifically targeted at babies and children). Of course, it goes without saying that this is by no means an exhaustive list – for that you need to be looking at the government’s official website.
