House fires are often caused by electrical appliances which have either been left on unattended or have malfunctioned. A malfunctioning electrical product can not only lead to a potential product liability compensation claim having to be made, but it can also put you and your family at real risk of personal injury.
During the winter, many families rely on the extra warmth that fan heaters can provide. Often left on unattended, the heaters pose real fire hazards should they malfunction. While this generally wouldn't pose a problem and is unlikely to cause any harm, if the heater should be faulty and no one is around to deal with it, it could potentially lead to a house fire.
Customers who bought the Connect-it 2000W Fan Heater in 2010 experienced exactly this problem as some models of the heater were been found to be faulty and liable to overheat prompting the manufacturer to make a product recall. The affected models, (ES140 and ES127) were found to have a fault in the mains plug which had the potential to cause it to overheat.
Consumers were advised by the manufacturer to stop using the affected models immediately and return the faulty product to the store they bought it from for a full refund or a replacement model.
Although there have been no reported product liability claims stemming from the hazardous heaters, if customers had experienced a problem with the product which led to a personal injury or damage to their property, they could be eligible for compensation for product liability.
The affected models were ES140 and ES127. All heaters were coded in the form EP00 XXX . The faulty heaters had the following numbers replacing the xxx: 344, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 480.
If you have bought one of the affected models and your heater has overheated causing damage to you or your property, you deserve to claim compensation for that damage.
