IRISH shoppers are being warned about an urgent recall of a heating product that presents a number of risks.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission issued the recall due to safety concerns earlier this week.

Three products are being recalled, with a range of model and barcode numbers.
The brand is Sangamo, and there are three colour variants – white, black and silver.

RANGE OF RISKS
Customers are being warned not to use the product and have it replaced by a registered electrical contractor immediately.
A range of risks have been reported to the CCPC after using the product.
The risks reported include electric shock, burns and smoke inhalation.
This is as a result of the housing of the fused timer becoming distorted and exposing the consumer to live parts.
The customer may then use the product and touch the live part.
This in turn could result in potential electrocution.
Or, the housing of the fused timer could overheat and melt, which could result in potential burns or smoke inhalation.
It is believed that there are around 2,240 affected products in the Republic of Ireland.
For more information on how to obtain the replacement product, shoppers should contact the ESP Customer Service Team on +44 (0) 1527 515150 or email sales@espuk.com.

It comes days after a popular rugby headguard was recalled for failing health and safety requirements.
