The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has issued a recall on The Works Halloween projector torch. 

Due to a short circuit within the product, it can become hot to the touch and overheat. This causes the bottom of the torch to melt, meaning someone who uses it may very well sustain burns.

The torch is described as being black and orange, with approximately 82 of these products being purchased in the Republic of Ireland alone.

The CCPC are urging people stop using the product and keep out of reach of children.
