Recall of unsafe gas and electrical appliances Information on current recalls Current OTR electrical and gas safety recalls Recall of unsafe gas and electrical appliances
Electrical and gas appliances that are deemed unsafe can be recalled and removed from sale by the
Office of the Technical Regulator under the
Electrical Products Act 2000 and the
Gas Act 1997.
The Office of the Technical Regulator can also recall unsafe components used in gas installations and infrastructure, as well as unsafe parts used in electrical products.
Most product suppliers including manufacturers and importers initiate a voluntary recall for unsafe products, however the
Office of the Technical Regulator can impose a compulsory recall if a product is unsafe and no action is taken by the supplier.
