– There is a risk of overheating and fire due to component failure, informs Biltema in a statement.
(BA) the store has sent out a press release that they revoke all Biltema heaters with glass panel, regardless of labeling.
Customers can supply their ovens at one of the hardware store warehouse and the purchase price replaced. Receipt is not required.
Shorting
– We have had a few cases where we have registered a short circuit in the switch panel. This has come recently. We have sold a good portion of these stoves, and it is important for us to get them back, says CEO Knut R. Svenningsen in Biltema Norway AS.
– Has anyone caught fire so far ?
– no, not that we know of. We have registered two cases of short circuit, but we can not spend time to find out more about the error. Product safety is highly emphasized, and therefore revokes we furnaces, said Svenningsen.
Producer will be responsible
Reports and studies show that there is a risk of overheating and fire. The heaters have been on sale since September 2013.
Biltema say they are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
– The manufacturer will get the financial responsibility here, said Svenningsen.
