After a report on the BBC Breakfast Show today about a series of domestic house fires in London, links have now been made to faulty defrost controls in a number of Beko Fridge-Freezer products.
What amazes me is that that the London Fire Brigade bosses alerted Beko to the danger in June 2010 and the company apparently had issued a recall notices to all of its customers. As a Beko customer I have not had one. Have you?
The BBC Breakfast Programme issued a telephone number (0800 009 4837) this morning, which of course has been inundated with calls. They also directed readers of the news story on the BBC website to the Beko website, which crashed almost immediately.
Perhaps as part of the BBC’s commitment to UK Public Services Broadcasting they could also have pointed concerned users to this page of the Trading Standards Institute website where full details have been for sometime about the Beko Product Recall.
Maybe the BBC Watch Dog website might like to have this link on their page, after all are they not supposed to be champions of the consumer?

Thanks for this post – the trading standards link provided me with all the info I needed to confirm that my Beko was not one of these.
On the BBC front, they did the same woth the 'care home' abuse story. 6 months undercover, plus the time to transmission, then they report the unacceptable abuse to the police!
