Coles Recalls & Anzac Day Hours: What's Going On?
Okay, so, a whole bunch of stuff happened this week, and I wanted to fill you in. First off, there are some product recalls from Coles (and a few other places), and then, to add to the mix, there's some confusion around Coles' Anzac Day trading hours. Let’s tackle it all!
Beer Recalls and Other Things to Watch Out For
Coles had to recall Uberbrau Ultra Low Alcohol Lager and Henninger Lager because of a chemical on the packaging that makes them smell, well, pretty awful. If you bought any between April 2nd and 15th, 2025, definitely don't drink it! Return it to Coles for a full refund. It's a bit of a bummer, right? And honestly, who saw that coming?
But it doesn’t stop there. While not directly from Coles, there are some other recalls you should be aware of. There are safety concerns surrounding the Blissbaby Lufti Colic Reliever, and Kmart's Anko Wooden Play Push Along Firetruck has a potential choking hazard for little ones. So keep an eye out if you've got any of those at home.
Anzac Day Shopping at Coles: Check Before You Go!
Planning a Coles run on Anzac Day? Things get a little tricky here. Trading hours are different across Australia, with many stores either closed or operating on reduced hours. It’s a bit of a headache, to be honest, trying to figure it all out!
NSW: Most Coles liquor stores will be shut for the day, and supermarket hours might be affected too. VIC: Supermarkets are generally open from 1 PM onwards. QLD, SA, WA, TAS, NT, and ACT: The best thing to do is check your local store's website or app – you really need to! They’ll have the most up-to-date info.
The changes are mostly to show respect and remembrance on Anzac Day, and to reduce the feeling that it’s just another shopping day.
What You Need To Do Now
So, what's the takeaway? If you've got any of those recalled beers, get them back to Coles ASAP for a refund. And before you even think about going to Coles on Anzac Day, check their website or app to avoid any unwelcome surprises. Seriously, it’s worth the extra minute to check — believe me!
Remember, planning ahead is key, especially with things changing so quickly. Happy shopping (and remembering!)
