Known issues and safety
Recall check: we searched GOV.UK product safety alerts, reports and recalls (Office for Product Safety and Standards) for “t-cut” on 19 October 2026. The search matched loosely, and none of the first page’s titles named T-Cut; we could not check the other pages [2]. Check the list again before you buy.
We did not review a safety data sheet. Test on a small area first, wear gloves, and keep it off trim.
