RECALLED DISHWASHERS

RECALL UK

Recall UK is an essential website for keeping us informed of the latest recalls. In my opinion they do an amazing job.

I recently read the following article
http://www.recalluk.com/news/hotpoint-has-done-it-again.aspx

This article backs my view on why the UK recall system is flawed. Firstly how can a major company get away with doing so little to promote a major problem, especially regarding their track record with these machines.

A rough calculation by myself adding together the tabloid sales and working out the percentage against the UK population works out that Hotpoint probably targeted 6% of the population at a cost of about £100,000

That speaks for itself, the UK recall system needs a major shake up. I actually tried my best to find information on the Hotpoint website but could only find information on previous recalled machines

HOTPOINT RECALL FURTHER DISHWASHERS, BUT HOW PUBLIC HAVE THEY GONE?

Well HOTPOINT or INDESIT have recalled further dishwashers that carry the same components as previous models.

You can see the latest affected models here

This is further to another batch recalled in Ireland

They are in my opinion getting away with making light of the overall scale of the major problem that they have.

Hotpoint are recalling machines in small amounts with little publicity, HOW LONG WILL THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS.

If you read my posts you will become aware that I know they have other affected models and I have been trying to make this public all along.

They should be made to tell everyone the full extent and tell us every model that contains the affected module.

I HOPE NO SERIOUS FATALITY IS ALLOWED TO OCCUR WITH MACHINES THAT THEY ARE AWARE ARE STILL IN PEOPLES HOMES. THE FDW70 FOR EXAMPLE....
