I'm looking for a Timms trap asap. I borrowed one from a friend but despite a good spray on the springs it doesn't set off, so there seems to be something wrong with it. The bait is gone each time and it's definitely possums, not rats. So I need one that is known to work.

Hi neighbours, do you love Kmart?

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.
The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?
