Currys recalls microwaves with potential fire risk (14 April 2014)

Date: 14/04/2014
Duncan Lewis, Legal News Solicitors, Currys recalls microwaves with potential fire risk

Technology and electrical retailer Currys is recalling 50,000 microwaves sold more than eight years ago, over fears that they could overheat and catch fire.

The Kenwood and Russell Hobbs microwaves were sold by Currys between 2006 and 2011 and bear the model number CJ/AL28.

It is thought the microwaves contain a component which increases the risk of the microwave catching fire. The high street retailer says that no other products or models are affected and the recall is a precaution. The safety risk has only just been identified, said the retailer.

Consumers who bought the microwaves are being advised to unplug them immediately and return them to Currys for a voucher or credit note. No receipt is necessary.

In 2012, electrical manufacturer Sanyo recalled microwaves over the risk they could give electrical shocks to users.

The issue had been caused by areas of the printed circuit boards in the internal control panel being in contact with buttons on the external control panel.

A total of 8,156 of the Sanyo microwaves affected had been sold in the UK and Ireland between March 2010 and mid-2012.

Faulty electrical equipment can overheat and cause devastating house fires or deliver fatal or serious injuries as a result of electric shocks.

Consumers should also always have secondhand electrical goods checked by a qualified electrician before buying and installing products.
