Hazard: The elbow on the connecting pipework of affected gas hobs can fail resulting in a significant gas leak, regardless of whether the hob is switched on and in use. Hazards resulting from a gas leak include burns, fire and explosion and poisoning from inhalation. The risk levels vary from low risk to serious risk, with the risk presented from fire and explosion being the worst case. The risk of fire and explosion in traditional built residences is high risk, and the risk of fire and explosion in a caravan or leisure homes is serious risk.
Corrective Action: GDHA have initiated a modification programme for certain products in scope of the safety issue. OPSS is urging all affected members of the public, including those unsure whether they are affected or not, to check the model links and contact the manufacturer.
