Thousands of televisions sold throughout Ireland have been subject to an urgent recall due to a potential fire hazard, with households being advised to disconnect them from the mains immediately.<\/p>\n

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) issued two separate recall notices today covering a range of Toshiba, Technika, Walker and NordMende televisions.<\/p>\n

The watchdog confirmed that the problem lies with the fuse inside certain supplied UK power plugs, rather than the televisions themselves.<\/p>\n

The CCPC stated: “A safety issue has been identified with the fuse within certain power plugs in various Toshiba, Technika and Walker Televisions, and in a selected batch of NordMende Televisions.<\/p>\n

“The product presents a fire risk because the fuse inside the supplied UK power plug may not operate correctly. If an electrical fault occurs, the fuse may fail to disconnect the power supply, allowing electricity to continue flowing into the TV, which could lead to overheating or fire.”, reports the Irish Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The product safety issue relates to the mains plug fuse and not to the television unit itself.”<\/p>\n

Approximately 6,206 Toshiba, Technika and Walker televisions are thought to have been purchased in Ireland, alongside a further 189 NordMende units.<\/p>\n

Owners of any of the affected televisions are being strongly urged to “stop using the product immediately, switch it off, and unplug it from the mains”.<\/p>\n

Affected customers will be provided with a complimentary replacement fuse or power cable.<\/p>\n
