UK OPSSSerious riskFireApr 14, 2026

Hazard

The products present a risk of fire as it is possible for an internal short circuit to occur within the tumble dryer during normal use. This can cause the tumble dryer to ignite, causing a fire. The products do not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

Remedy

The UK manufacturers have initiated a modification programme for products in scope of the safety issue. The companies will visit every home containing affected tumble dryers and make them safe. OPSS is urging all affected members of the public, including those unsure whether they are impacted or not, to check the model links and contact the manufacturer. Should your model be included, or if you are unsure of your tumble dryer model, please contact 0808 178 0516 (Mon-Fri 9 am–5 pm, Sat 10 am–4 pm). Alternatively, go to Product Safety - Haier Europe .
