A number of product safety issues around the recall and fire safety of domestic appliances led to two recent Government sponsored reviews. These reported in 2016 (the Faulds Wood review) and in March 2017 (the Working Group on Product Recalls and Safety). Concerns have previously been raised in Parliament around the recall of Whirlpool tumble dryers, and the London Fire Brigade are currently running a ‘total recalls’ campaign that calls for changes to recall systems and product safety rules. The LFB, with others, wrote to the Prime Minister on the issue of Fire Safety in August 2017
This briefing sets out the product safety system, detail of recent reviews, the campaign by the London Fire Brigade, recent Government statements on the issue and further reading.
