<p>The UK system of product safety requires white goods to meet strict safety requirements
before they are put into use. Where faults occur, Trading Standards have powers to
order recalls or other corrective actions.</p><p> </p><p>Consumers can check for the
latest information on recalls on the GOV.UK website searching for ‘product recall
campaign’.</p><p> </p><p>The Working Group on Product Recalls and Safety submitted
its final report in April 2017. I had intended to publish the report then, but the
announcement of the General Election prevented me from doing so.</p><p> </p><p>Following
the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy, I asked the Working Group to urgently review their
findings and their report has been published today.</p><p> </p><p>I have also asked
the Working Group to look at further potential areas of product safety and recalls
where action might be required, in light of the tragic events at Grenfell Tower.</p><p>
