Is your safety at risk? Urgent recall for fire blankets from Supercheap Auto
- Replies 0
In today's world, we are constantly bombarded with frightening news stories, often warning us of external dangers. But what if there's another threat that lies not outside but within our own homes?
Fires can be a sudden and dangerous reality, posing a significant risk not only to our property but also to our lives. To ensure the safety of our loved ones and our homes, it is crucial to have essential fire prevention items at hand.
By having smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and fire blankets in our homes, we can promptly act and seek help if a fire breaks out. These items also give us the valuable time needed to take action and put out the fire ourselves.
However, merely owning these safety items is not enough. Ensuring they work properly and are capable of effectively doing their job is equally vital. Regular maintenance and testing are essential.
To those who purchased fire blankets from Supercheap Auto, we regret to inform you that there has been a recall notice issued for this product.
The reason for the recall is due to concerns that the fire blankets may not effectively work as intended. This is an urgent matter, and if you have one of these blankets, it is crucial that you immediately replace it.
The fire blanket in question (stored in a red plastic pouch with two black pull handles) is made of woven glass fibre and does not meet the mandatory safety standards. Consequently, safety officials have highlighted the risk of serious burn injuries and property damage if the fire blanket fails to control or extinguish a fire.
The product was available for purchase nationwide from August 2018 to December 2022.
However, there is a silver lining, as Supercheap Auto is taking responsibility for the issue and is offering a full refund to anyone who bought the affected fire blanket, regardless of whether it was purchased in-store or online.
To identify if your fire blanket is part of the recall, check for the following product details: a product code of 562939, a product number of SCA100, and a model number of MF100.
If your fire blanket meets the specified requirements, kindly contact Supercheap Auto immediately to arrange a refund. You can reach Supercheap Auto by phone at 1300 175 010 on weekdays from 7 am to 7 pm and on Saturdays from 8 am to 6 pm (AEDT). You can also visit their website for further information.
Your well-being is paramount, and replacing the non-compliant fire blanket is essential.
At the Seniors Discount Club, we prioritise safeguarding ourselves, our families, and our homes from the destructive effects of fires. We firmly believe that taking preventative measures is essential.
If you have any fire prevention and safety items in your home that could be potentially faulty or unsafe, we strongly advise reaching out to the manufacturer. They can provide you with a replacement or a refund for these items. Remember, safety should always come first for everyone!
