Recalls
Here you can see all current product recalls in our range. Recalls are initiated by the manufacturers and passed on to suppliers and any subcontractors, who then pass the information on to all end consumers. All recalls we receive are processed and communicated further within the same working day that we receive them. If you have any questions about the recalls, you are always welcome to contact us atThe email address itself stays the same, but the Danish words mean:
info@denkinesiskekoebmand.dk → "info@thechinesegrocer.dk" (literal meaning: "info@the Chinese grocer")
Alternative translations of "den kinesiske købmand": "the Chinese merchant" or "the Chinese shopkeeper". (Do not change the actual address when sending mail.).
We always recommend that our customers, in the event of recalls:
1. Check whether the item you purchased has the same lot number/batch number/expiration date as the recalled item. Not all units of that product are necessarily being recalled; it may be only a single production run.
2. Disposes of the item immediately, or returns it to the store.
We of course always issue a refund for the product upon presentation of the receipt and product packaging, regardless of whether you have used part of the product or not. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund without the receipt and packaging, as there are often multiple suppliers in Denmark for the same product.
If you purchased the product from our webshop, please contact us atwebshop@denkinesiskekoebmand.dk
(This is an email address. The domain "denkinesiskekoebmand" literally means "the Chinese grocer/merchant" in English.), to receive an optional return label.
The product can also be delivered directly to our office and warehouse between Mon–Fri 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
