"A serious safety risk has been uncovered after testing by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). This resulted in 5,019 De Vielle dual fan electric heaters being recalled, which were sold in dozens of shops across Ireland. The testing found that the front grill can break and expose live parts, putting users at risk of electric shock. The brand of the affected heater is De Vielle, with the model number, article number, and product code of DEF978005."
""5,000 heaters are being recalled, with consumers entitled to a full refund," she said. "If you have one of these De Vielle heaters, do not use it." "Tests carried out by our product safety team have revealed a serious risk of electric shock. If you own a small white fan heater, you should check the brand and model of your heater immediately," she added."
