Bunnings pulls barbecue must-have off the shelves

A digital food thermometer sold at Bunnings stores has been recalled by Product Safety Australia (PSA).

The government agency warned the Inkbird Digital Food Thermometer does not meet mandatory standards because the battery packaging has not been tested and may not be child-resistant.

"There is a risk of choking, severe internal burn injuries or death to young children if they gain access to the button batteries and swallow or place them inside their body," the PSA said.

They should return the product to Bunnings for a full refund.

The identifying model number is BG-HH2C.
