A product recall has been issued for an item sold in Ireland which could cause an explosion or poisoning.
A safety issue has been identified with B&Q Ireland Limited Cooke & Lewis branded Gas Hobs which may be installed in domestic settings, holiday homes, caravans and other settings manufactured after May 2019.
A warning has been issued by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) that the gas supply elbow joint from the gas hob to the gas supply may fracture, which can cause gas to leak through the fracture. This presents a risk of burns, fire, explosion and poisoning from inhalation which could pose a risk to health, or even death.
