Tumble dryer fire risk

A potential fire risk with tumble dryers manufactured between April 2004 and September 2015 has been identified.   The affected brands are:

• Hotpoint
• Indesit
• Creda

The fire risk is due to excess fluff which can come into contact with the heating element and present a risk of fire.
If you have a tumble dryer, please check your tumble dryer to see if it has been recalled.
