Kitchen utensil recalled over cancer-causing' compound
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A common kitchen utensil has been recalled from a major UK supermarket following fears it may contain cancer-causing chemicals. Waitrose has urgently recalled the Oxo good grips pasta scoop strainer after tests revealed a batch contained unsafe levels of primary aromatic amine (PAA). Customers who bought the product between 15 May 2024 and 25 October 2025 have been warned to stop all use of the kitchen appliance immediately, repackage it and return it to their local Waitrose supermarket in exchange for a refund."
Reporters are deployed on the ground to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech. Investigations include Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC finances and a documentary, 'The A Word', about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations fund sending journalists to speak to both sides and keep reporting free of paywalls. The Independent is presented as trusted across the political spectrum and chooses not to lock reporting behind paywalls, relying on support from those who can afford it. Waitrose has recalled the Oxo Good Grips pasta scoop strainer after tests found unsafe levels of primary aromatic amine (PAA). Customers who bought the product between 15 May 2024 and 25 October 2025 are advised to stop using, repackage and return it for a refund. A Waitrose spokesperson warned of a risk of exposure to a potential carcinogen and apologised, affirming commitment to product quality and food safety. Primary aromatic amines (PAA) are substances used in the production of certain dyes, rubber, plastics, leather and paper.
