Kmart's list of 31 recalls
Hi neighbours, do you love Kmart?
Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.
The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?

Certified copies of documents
Sometimes you need a certified copy of a document. This means that an authorised person signs the document to confirm that it is a true copy of the original.
This is one of the services provided by a Justice of the Peace (JP). There is a JP in attendance at our New Plymouth office on Monday mornings.
This service is free, and no appointment is necessary.
If Monday mornings don't suit, check with us about when a JP is available at other locations.
