The CCPC says 5,019 of the small white fan heaters were sold in shops across Ireland.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission is recalling over five thousand De Vielle Dual Fan Electric Heaters after tests revealed a serious electric shock risk.

The CCPC says 5,019 of the small white fan heaters were sold in shops across Ireland.

Consumers are being urged not to use the heaters and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

The CCPC found that the front grill can break and expose live parts, creating a shock hazard.

The tests were part of an EU-wide product safety project.

Consumers can find full recall details and product safety notices at ccpc.ie.
