500 faulty water boilers still in use across counties

MORE than 500 faulty water boilers which have caused five fires are still being used primarily by Cork and Kerry families.

This is despite a recall of the product being under way since 2007.

Between 2001 and 2006, approximately 700 GeminoX boilers were imported into Ireland by Aquatech Ltd in Cork, of which about 500 remain to be located and refitted, primarily in the Cork and Kerry region.
