Request for information over dishwasher recall

The National Consumer Agency has requested “detailed information” from a company over dishwashers here which have been recalled in Britain.

German manufacturer Bosch recalled a number of its dishwasher models in Britain in Jul 2011. However, no such recall took place in Ireland, despite a fire incident occurring here last October.

Director Ireland for BSH Home Appliances, Brian McMenamin, yesterday advised consumers to check their dishwashers and to register their information with the company so it can arrange a repair free of charge. The “voluntary repair action” is for a number of Bosch, Neff and Siemens dishwashers made between 1999 and 2005, of which 29,000 were sold here.
