Tumble Dryer Recall
Six tumble dryer models from Hoover and Candy have been recalled due to fire safety concerns. The affected dryers include two Candy integrated heat pump dryers (Catalogue numbers 9203561 and 8789842) and four Hoover models (9072905, 7666258, 8175528, and 8732552). These models have been recalled because they pose a fire hazard, and users have been advised to stop using them immediately for safety reasons.
The recalled Candy models are: - Candy CBTDH7A1TE-80 Integrated Heat Pump Tumble Dryer White (Catalogue number: 9203561) - Candy BCTDH7A1TE-80 Integrated Heat Pump Tumble Dryer White (Catalogue number: 8789842)

These models were produced since January 2019 and do not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016. Households in possession of one of the dryers will be visited by qualified engineers who will perform safety modifications free of charge. To verify whether your appliance requires modification, you can enter the serial number on Haier's product safety website.
Co-op Pork Pie Recall
Separately, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has announced the recall of Co-op's four-pack Mini Pork and Pickle Pies found at Co-op stores. The recall is due to a manufacturing fault that could lead to internal short circuits, potentially causing fires. Additionally, the pies contain milk which isn't mentioned on the label, posing a risk to shoppers with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.
Argos has apologized to customers affected by the tumble dryer recall and emphasized that no other Haier, Hoover, or Candy products the retailer sells are affected. However, they urge customers to check their appliances for safety.
This product recall is an extension of a previous recall announced in June, which affected just two models. It's important for consumers to prioritize safety and check their appliances and food products regularly for recalls.
