Buyer beware: The Black Friday duds to avoid in today's sales

'A product that doesn’t do what it is supposed to is going to be a terrible deal, no matter how cheap it is'

Which? says that nine in 10 Black Friday ‘deals’ are the same price or cheaper in the six months ahead of the big event.

A dangerous child car seat, a poor quality TV, a dodgy laptop and a washing machine that fails to get rid of stains are among the 'dud' items being sold at discount prices this Black Friday, watchdog Which? is warning.

The consumer group is warning shoppers that it has found items independently tested and deemed to be ‘don’t buy’ products included in the Black Friday sales across a number of major retailers including Amazon, AO.com, Currys, John Lewis and Littlewoods.
