LG electrical safety recall
|
|
Sydney, July
17, 2008: LG Electronics is voluntarily recalling selected
microwave ovens (manufactured between August 2007 to February
2008) in order to repair a fault which may pose a risk of
electric shock to the user.
The products are being recalled because in some cases an
internal part of the unit may be loose which may cause an
electrical short circuit which will trip the household's safety
switch. In rare cases this may result in an electric shock to
the user in households that do not have a safety switch. This
issue does not affect other LG products.
LG Electronics will inspect and, if necessary, repair the unit
at no cost to consumers.
Although any risk of electric shock is low, customers are asked
to cease use of the product until it has been inspected and
repaired.
Customers with the following appliance model numbers and serial
number range should contact the Customer Information Line on
1800 506 154 to arrange for an appointment to service the
appliance.
Model numbers:
MS-2346VR, MS2347GR
Serial number range:
Serial numbers commencing 708 to 802
Manufactured: August 2007 to February 2008
LG Electronics is liaising with the ACCC and state electrical
safety offices in relation to the recall process.
For further information contact the Customer Information Line on
1800 506 154.
LG Electronics would like to apologise for any inconvenience
caused to customers.
