Faulty Tumble Dryers Cause Three Fires A Day

Dangerous tumble dryers are causing three fires a day, according to the Local Government Association. The LGA, which represents 48 fire and rescue authorities in England and Wales, is calling for all white goods to have fireproof markings on them to allow easy identification of the manufacturer, model and serial number. Manufacturers Hotpoint, Indesit and Creda are fixing dryers across the country after parents company Whirlpool told customers about the safety defect last October.
