Hi sparklyirisheyes,

It is the responsibility of Members to assess the goods they receive on JumbleTown.

At the top of the Domestic Appliances forum (and others), we include a post which states: "Takers of electrical items should ensure that the items are checked/serviced by qualified personnel before use."

The same applies for anyone buying a second-hand product. It's much easier to get an appliance checked than to send away a cosmetic product or a foodstuff to a laboratory for analysis --that's why we prohibit the Giving and Taking of such items on JumbleTown.

Folks may take a second-hand sofa or jacket, but second-hand medicine or lipstick?? -- I think not!

Regards
