These dryers, produced by brands including Baumatic, Candy, Caple, Haier, Hoover, Lamona, Iberna, and Montpellier, have been found to potentially ignite during normal operation due to an internal short circuit. In December, safety regulators under the Labour Party government identified these models as dangerous, prompting a national recall.
