<p>Product recalls in the UK have jumped 12% to reach a record high, according to research.</p>
<p>A total of 229 products were recalled last year across consumer goods, food and pharmaceuticals, up from 205 in 2009, City law firm Reynolds Porter Chamberlain (RPC) said.</p>
<p>The number of recalls in the UK rebounded in 2010 after falling for the first time in 2009.</p>
<p>Car recalls by Toyota, BMW, Rolls-Royce and Ferrari contributed to the figure alongside a 40% leap in recalls of pharmaceutical and other healthcare products, from 20 in 2009 to 28 last year.</p>
<p>Faulty Chinese products continued to pose a problem, representing 62% of consumer recalls. Toys made up 43% of all Chinese product recalls, RPC said.</p>
<p>RPC partner Stuart White said: &#8220;Despite China&#8217;s continued efforts to improve safety standards, the huge proportion of recalls deriving from Chinese products shows that the problem with standards in China has not gone away.</p>
<p>&#8220;Toy recalls from China are very common. The problem is partly caused by the demands of the toy industry to bring new products to market rapidly.&#8221;</p>
<p>Food recalls continued to fall, from 53 in 2009 to 35 in 2010.</p>
<p>Mr White added: &#8220;This is the second year in a row that we have seen the number of food recalls fall. Food production continues to be a tightly regulated area and the continued sharp drop in food-related recalls suggests that the sector has seen production quality improve.&#8221;</p>
