(World News UK)

Whirlpool has launched a recall of its fire risk tumble dryers by urging remaining owners of unmodified machines to `make contact immediately`. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) announced the recall involving 500,000 dryers that could potentially be a fire risk on July 10, two days after Whirlpool finally published the full list of affected machines. The recall relates to certain models of Hotpoint, Indesit, Creda, Swan and Proline dryers built between 2004 and 2015.
