The discount retailer Action has issued an urgent safety recall for its “Big Jeff” heat‑resistant barbecue glove sold in Portugal. Tests showed the glove does not meet the minimum fire‑resistance and inflammability standards claimed on its packaging, posing a burn risk when used near grills or ovens. Action advises anyone owning the glove—identified by EAN codes 3560231560935 and 3560231571702—to stop using it immediately and return it to any Action store for a full refund, even without a receipt.
The product was marketed as being able to withstand temperatures up to 800 °C (1472 °F) with a silicone‑antislip coating, but the recall notes that the actual performance falls short of these specifications, making it unsafe for its intended use.
