Product safety recalls tip

Always send off your guarantee registration card to ensure you are notified of any safety recalls affecting your washing machine (or any other appliance). If a company discovers a serious fault that needs a modification, the first thing they do is contact all customers known to have purchased the affected product through their guarantee card database. After that, they can only put advertisements in the press and hope people contact them and you can easily miss them.
