With the fire at the centre of the Grenfell Tower tragedy now being attributed to a faulty Hotpoint fridge freezer, the government has stepped in to remind the public of the importance of registering household appliances and keeping abreast of the latest product recalls. As well as containing an up-to-date list of recalls and a ‘Register my Appliance’ service, the site also signposts agencies and organisations that can help with aspects of product safety. Take a look here.
Mark Smith, founder of MS Electrical Services, welcomes this government initiative. "As we spend our working lives helping businesses ensure that their appliances and electrical wiring are as safe as they possibly can be, we were delighted to find a website focusing on product recalls and registration,” he says. “We’d encourage anyone who has the slightest concern about any of their household appliances to visit the website and take the necessary action. It could just prevent a potentially fatal incident from occurring."
