If you're like many people, you have have heard something about the recent safety recalls involving some of the big car manufacturers, but you may not be aware that the makers of the appliances in your home have had similar troubles, only on a far greater scale.
We all like to think of the appliances in our homes as being safe, but, the fact is, there have been over 200 million product recalls in North America in the past thirty years. Around one in five homes owners in our region will have a faulty appliance installed in their home which may be unsafe to operate. Appliance malfunctions are now a leading causes of house fires and injuries.
By law, the manufactuers of faulty appliances must issue product recalls and repair them at no expense to the consumer. The problem is, however, there is no requirement to notify the owners of unregistered appliances and home owners are rarely aware of recalls that apply to the appliances in their homes, unless they take the time to research the recalls themselves, which can be a daunting and time consuming task.
