Faulty/ recalled goods

I received an automated message from ebay telling me that something I purchased - an electrical item - has been recalled as unsafe. I do remember buying it, but when I looked through my purchases I cannot find it to pursue this with the seller. I've tried Search using the item description, and I've tried scrolling back through all my listed purchases and it seems to have disappeared. Which seems extremely odd, if not downright suspicious. It wasn't a private sale, but through an eBay retailer. Any advice welcome.
