Ann Summers recalls vibrator over electrical fears

Purveyor of lingerie and sex toys, Ann Summers, is recalling one of its best-selling vibrators. Customers who bought the Ultimate O Rechargeable Vibrator before May 24 are being told to stop using it immediately. The company said the charger used for the sex aid was not up to their normal rigorous quality testing process.



A spokesman said: “While the risk associated with the plug is very low and any potential fault is unlikely, we take the quality of our products and our commitment to our customers very seriously.

“Like all electrical products, sex toys and vibrators can be subject to manufacturing faults and as the quality of this charger is not up to our rigorous quality testing process we have deemed a recall necessary in this instance.”



The company is offering 20 per cent off future orders for customers returning the affected product. The spokesman added: “Ann Summers would like to take this opportunity to apologise to anyone affected by the sensitive nature of this recall.”
