An urgent recall notice has been issued over extension leads, which have been bought thousands of times in Ireland, as the devices may “overheat and melt.” Thousands of potentially dangerous extension leads have been bought in Ireland in recent months.<\/p>\n

An urgent recall has now been issued due to potential fire risks. Corry’s, a trade-only hardware supplier, has issued an urgent recall of its Rugged Trailing Electrical Sockets, which were sold in at least 184 stores across Ireland<\/a>. The Consumer and Competition Protection Commission has warned that the product presents a risk of fire and burns.<\/p>\n

A manufacturing fault may cause the product to overheat during use. In a small number of cases, the cable may melt under load, creating a risk of fire and burns. Customers who purchased the leads are urged to stop using them immediately by unplugging the trailing socket safely from the mains. Customers can return them to their point of purchase for a refund or replacement. The affected products have a moulded plug top, according to RSVP.<\/a><\/p>\n
