⚠️ OPSS has concluded that certain heat pump tumble dryers pose a serious fire risk. If you own one of these products, please stop using it immediately, unplug if accessible, and contact the manufacturer. If your dryer was recently modified by Haier, it may still be unsafe. www.hwfire.org.uk/advice/product-alerts-and-recalls#HWFRS #ProductRecall … See MoreSee Less
