just in case anybody missed the news - these have been recalled and are dangerous. They have caused at least three house fires... the company is in liquidation now and chances are you wont get your money back but you cant put a price on safety. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

LOL I put them in the same box as heated towel rails - waste of power when the wind can dry them out in half the time for free! -------------

| Just the dry bars brand and yes if you got yours from mitre 10 or bunnings you can get your money back. If not then they recommend you unplug and cut the head off. Sounds drastic but it was on fair go so maybe their website can help. |

yeah sorry should have said... there was a partial recall, some models have a manufacturing flaw and need to be returned. Fair go however suggested they are all dangerous and should not be used, unless as an expensive airer after cutting off the cord. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">
