This is something which has been going on at the periphery of my attention for a while. From what I've read Whirlpool have acknowledged that their tumble dryers are potential death traps but are taking ages (possibly years?) to recall the machines which they know are faulty.

The latest fire caused by one of their machines caused the evacation of an 18 storey tower bl9ck and much property damage:

Has anyone been following this? Are Whirlpool being criminally negeligent in taking forever with their recall or is their ratio of burning houses down in line with industry averages_
