Whirlpool tumble dryers and other white goods are named as fire safety 'worst offenders' - causing THREE times as many blazes as next manufacturer. Whirlpool goods have been blamed on almost 900 fires in London since 2009. London Fire Brigade identified 2,891 fires due to white goods during the period. Whirlpool's brands include Hotpoint, Indesit, Proline, Creda and Swan. Bosch appliances were linked to 276 fires according to newly released figures By Published: 12:26 GMT, 24 November 2017 Updated: 16:19 GMT, 24 November 2017.
Number of fires in London since 2009 attributed to Whirlpool White Goods Whirlpool Hotpoint Indesit Proline Creda Swan TOTAL 69 502 257 12 51 4 895 Source: London Fire Brigade MPs have condemned companies for failing to implement effective recall procedures when dangerous products such as washer-dryers have been identified. Last month, MPs heard Whirlpool sold five million of the machines and as many as two million, which could catch fire, are sitting in kitchens. It was claimed some of these dryers still 'pose a real live threat to consumers in their own homes'. In October 2016 Melissa Dooley, 35 of Sherwood, Nottingham, was sorting out her washing and putting it into her tumble dryer. The mother-of-two suddenly noticed black smoke coming out of the Hotpoint machine. She quickly pulled the device from the wall when it burst into flames.
She quickly evacuated her three-year-old son and nine-year-old adopted sister to safety and rang the fire brigade. The company first admitted there was a problem in 2015 by which time 750 fires – dating back to 2006 - had been linked to machines sold under the Indesit, Hotpoint and Creda brands. Rather than issuing a full recall, Whirlpool said people could continue to use the dryers under supervision until engineers were sent out to repair them. Subsequently, one of the machines caused a fire in a tower block in Shepherds Bush in August 2016, driving 50 families out of their homes.
The fire occurred six months after Whirlpool was warned by fire chiefs that its advice that people could continue to use the machines was wrong. Some of these same machines also have a faulty door mechanism that has been linked to 20 fires and the deaths of two people in Wales. As yet, Whirlpool has not put in place any system to fix this fault. The figures were released to solicitors Leigh Day as a result of a Freedom of Information request. Jill Paterson, a solicitor in Leigh Day's product safety and consumer law team, who represents a number of people affected by the Shepherd’s Bush fire and the families of two men who died in an appliance fire in north Wales in 2014, said: 'The deaths and injuries caused by fires in white goods are unacceptable and the devastating psychological effects are often not acknowledged, considered or understood.
'The most dangerous white goods in our homes are washing machines, tumble dryers and refrigerators. No one expects them to catch fire, let alone kill or injure them.
'An effective recall system is needed to ensure that manufacturers recall dangerous white goods in a timely and effective fashion.' In total the figures identified 2,891 fires where white goods, such as washing machines, dryers or fridge freezers were suspected as being responsible. Firefighters were not able to positively identify the manufacturer or the brand in just over 1,000 cases. The Electrical Safety First charity said five fires every day in England can be attributed to faulty fridges, freezers, tumble dryers and other kitchen appliances. The charity claims that under current recall rules, less than 20 per cent of the items identified as a fire risk are ever traced and fixed. As a result, millions of fridges and tumble dryers known to be dangerous remain in homes. In August 2016, a blaze caused by a faulty tumble dryer subject to a safety recall by Whirlpool ripped through a tower block in Shepherd’s Bush, west London, and in 2009, six people died when a fire broke out at Lakanal House in Camberwell, south London.
It is believed to have been started by an electrical fault in a television. A spokeswoman for Whirlpool told MailOnline: 'As the Government has advised, raw data of this kind should not be relied upon to make judgments about particular appliance makes or models. 'Such data can be misleading and unreliable as incidents often occur due to a combination of factors. 'It is not uncommon for conclusions on the cause of an incident to be revised once all the evidence is fully investigated. 'Whirlpool is unable to verify this data and therefore is unable to speculate. 'However, for context, Hotpoint and Indesit have been leaders in this market for over 100 years with market share in all these appliance categories among the highest in the industry leading up to and during the time period this data covers.'
Doug McTavish, 39, left, and Bernard Hender, 19, right, both died in their sleep after a faulty tumble dryer caught fire at their flat in Llanrwst, North Wales in October 2014 Landlord Garry Lloyd Jones, 50, survived the blaze. Firefighters said they encountered 18-inch high flames when they arrived at the scene. An independent expert appointed by insurers pinpointed 'untoward electrical activity' in the door switch as the probable cause. Whirlpool had flown in experts from America to contest the claims at Ruthin County Hall, Denbighshire, and said the fire could have been started in the flat's light switch or in an iron. But assistant coroner David Lewis ruled yesterday after a five-day inquest that 'on the balance of probabilities', the door switch of the dryer was the cause. Mr Lewis also rejected the firm's theory that the fire could have started by spontaneous combustion in the towels after the drying cycle had finished. Giving a narrative verdict, he said he found Whirlpool's experts 'to be less than compelling'.
Mr Lewis said he was considering whether to make a 'prevention of further deaths' warning and gave Whirlpool two weeks to make submissions to him. Mr Beal and his family also lost their two pet cats Smokey and Fluffy in the blaze Mr Beal had loaded the dryer while he made a quick trip to the supermarket to buy food for an evening meal with his four-year-old daughter Ruby and son, Lucas, 10. On his return he found the house ablaze and the fire service at the property after a neighbour had called. He tried to shield Ruby and Lucas from the distressing scene and took them to his in-laws home, on the opposite side of the street. Mr Beal, who works for Tesco Mobile, then made a desperate bid to save his cats from the burning house. He said: 'I tried to get into the house to save the cats but I couldn't get in. 'I had to try, but the smoke was too thick, within two feet of getting in the door I couldn't see or breathe.'
'Personally, that's the worst thing, that's what hurts the most. I had a bad injury a few years ago and that was when we got the older cat, Smokey. 'I couldn't move, I was off work for three or four months and she looked after me. 'Emotionally, the burying of the cats on Sunday morning was the hardest, because it was so fresh. 'The fire service were really good and wrapped them in blankets and put them out the back. First thing Sunday morning, I went and buried them.'

This thread obviously took a lot of work to put together, and was the best way of collating information when started it. Since then, the wiki capabilities of WP have improved, and we now encourage you all to use the for useful information that answer recurring questions.
After a bit of work, I've managed to transfer most of the apps listed here into one of the Apple Forum's existing wikis,. (I intend to also add more from.) Not all the apps made it — mostly because they're no longer available, or no longer relevant with the improvements to Tiger and Leopard since 2005. The list is in alphabetical order, and the apps listed under each heading are also listed in alphabetical order. They're not set in stone, and you might think they're not as logical as they ought to be. Another thing I haven't decided on yet is how to highlight those applications that are so useful they're almost standard on everyone's Mac.
You know, apps like Growl, Firefox, Perian, Flip4Mac.the sorts of ones you would almost always install on any new Mac you bought. Feel free to offer suggestions! Any logged-in user can contribute to and edit a wiki, so if you see anything to add, jump in.
This thread is now un-pinned from the bottom of the Apple forum, and will probably bump off the front page fairly quickly. I'll leave open for some time yet, at least until the information there is transferred to the wiki. Cheers, Elucubrator.
