Electrical appliances, particularly white goods like freezers and tumble dryers, are responsible for a significant number of electrical fires each year.
Our product checker contains the details of electrical products that have been recalled since 2007. If you have searched for a product that you own and it is not listed, this means that it has not been recalled and should be safe to use. Always register your electrical appliances with the manufacturer. That means that they can contact you if it turns out that the item you've bought is faulty or dangerous.
In the UK the response rate to an electrical product recall or safety notice is worryingly low, largely due to people failing to register their appliances. This means that there are potentially millions of recalled electrical items still in UK homes. As most of these products have been recalled because they offer a risk of electric shock or electrical fire, they present a serious risk.
