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 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.

For educational purposes I'm trying to track down an old valve radio of any type, working or not.
Anyone got something like that at the back of the shed?
Thanks.

I've found what I wanted, so these are no longer needed, thanks.

There has been much debate over the restoration of the Cathedral versus building a totally new Cathedral. It appears as ratepayers that at this stage we will be contributing to the Anglican Cathedral restoration. What has interested me as a ratepayer and a Christchurch resident is how many of us want restoration, how many would rather see a totally new Cathedral built. Given we seem to be contributing we should have some right to an opinion on the subject. I personally have no idea whether 90% want restoration or 90% want a new cathedral. As ratepayers I don't feel we have been asked or consulted. So here is your chance, I don't intend this to be a debate about whys or why not, so if you would like to participate could we simply have only RESTORATION or NEW CATHEDRAL typed. No debates please, nobody wins in heated arguments. Will be interesting to see results
