Re: Whirlpool to do a recall on Hotpoint dryers
I just wish one of these that goes up was taken to an independent lab and assessed rather than normally going back to hotpoint to be appraised.

Sorry Tim didn’t get the tongue in cheek bit (maybe a new emoticin req)
To be honest we were torn as to what to do ,the original call came through on the Tues and was only confirmed by a conversation between myself and the lady in question on Thurs afternoon that she would /could attend.To have a “Consumer Champion” attend an event where there were over 100 engineers in one room seemed to good an opportunity to miss, She asked some interesting questions and was told by some in the room that were wider industry issues than just tumble dryers.
She wasn’t given an easy ride,and the points made were filmed (how much will be used I’m not sure)

The problem is the none of us get to see the data that manufacturers hold (which was another point made to Ms Beer) so we will never know

I know that this may not be Alices’ beef but she may know who is the best body to raise the issue too?She was there for one reason Tim – Tumble Dryers .
She wanted the engineers to say in public that the design is of a dangerous nature and the appliances should be recalled, it was pointed out to her that there is a responsibility upon the consumer to regularly maintain there products to ensure there was no lint build up,I think it’s fair to say no one has said that to her so far. We did have Q&A sessions but no one raised the question you askRe: February 2016 Conference
Damn I did put Tracey but it deleted ,sorry Tracey big glass of wine next time I see you to say sorry

She may not have heard what she wanted,but she certainly went away with something to think about
