Product Recall and White Goods Safety

On average one fire a day in London involves white goods such as washing machines, tumble dryers, fridges, and freezers.

 

Follow these tips to help you stay safe:

 

• Always register your white goods, new or old, to ensure that you are informed of any safety issues at www.registermyappliance.org.uk.

 

• If you smell burning or hear electrical ‘sparking’ noises, unplug the appliance, and seek expert advice.

 

• Avoid keeping white goods, especially fridges or freezers on escape routes (e.g., hallways and landings).

 

• Information on product recalls can be found on the government’s webpage at: www.productrecall.campaign.gov.uk
