Cheshire Fire warning for eight brands of tumble dryers after 'fire incidents'
CHESHIRE Fire and Rescue Service is asking residents to check their tumble dryers after an urgent warning for eight brands.
The National Fire Chiefs Council said the affected appliances are not in line with the Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations.
As a result the fire service is asking residents to check their tumble dryers and, if the model number is a match, to contact the manufacturer for a modification. The model number is likely to be on the documentation as well as on the door.
Anyone with one of the affected appliances is being advised not to use it and to unplug it if at all possible.
The National Fire Chiefs Council said: "Following notification of fire incidents from fire and rescue services, the Office for Product Safety and Standards confirmed the tumble dryers do not meet the Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations.
"Owners of the appliances must stop using the tumble dryers and switch off the tumble dryers if they can."
Residents are urged to check their tumble dryers after urgent safety warnings were issued for eight major brands. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is advising people to stop using affected models immediately due to fire risk concerns.
