Reply To: Diesel heater recalls

[Ex contributorParticipant @mgnbuk]

Thread heading says "recall" – text says "rejected at border" i.e the products with inadequate documentation didn't get in to the UK.

How is what is described a "recall" ? Are there any other links stating that Vevor heaters that did make it in to the UK are being recalled due to safety concerns (other than iffy instructions ) ? I am aware that Vevor have had to "recall" at least one product due to safety issues (300 Bar air rifle compressors where the earth cable was not actually connected to the metalwork of the machine). In this case Vevor didn't actually "recall" the item (i.e have it returned to them to be destroyed) but just refunded anyone who had bought the item & told them to destroy it. Of the reports I read from those affected, non destroyed the item after getting the refund – when checked most did have the earth wire correctly connected & on those few that were not the owners chose to rectify the error and carried on using them.
