Argos has issued an immediate safety warning for customers who purchased Ring Cordless Digital Tyre Inflators, catalogue number 4337755.

The retailer has identified a battery fault in certain units of the RTC6000 model that poses an overheating hazard while charging.

The defect affects only specific production batches and could lead to device malfunction or dangerous temperature increases. Ring has requested that Argos notify all purchasers about this safety concern.

Customers who own this cordless tyre inflator must "stop using it immediately", according to Argos' instructions.

The potential for battery-related incidents during the charging process has prompted this urgent withdrawal from circulation.

Owners should examine the batch number located on the back of their device to determine whether their unit requires replacement.

Ring has established a dedicated webpage at https://ringautomotive.com/en/product-recall where customers can input their batch details for verification.

The company stated: "Devices from the affected batches should not be charged any more."
