Our regular readers will remember that last year we supported International Product Safety Week with social media promotion of another of our consumer surveys, this time looking at on-line purchases of domestic appliances.

This year the theme is recalls. Between 21-25 October AMDEA is supporting the #ReactToRecalls campaign being co-ordinated for the UK by the Office for Product Safety and Standards.

We have created a toolkit for our members and supporters to help spread the word about registering appliances. This includes a new section on our website called Safety Matters for Appliance Owners.
