Fifty-three incidents ranging from minor smoke damage to kitchen fires have been reported. Consumers have largely ignored two recall notices issued by Electrolux since December 2007. Of the 20,000 dishwashers potentially affected, fewer than 6,000 have been reported to Electrolux. "Unfortunately the response to the previous recalls has been low and Electrolux is concerned potentially dangerous dishwashers are still being used in homes," Ms Burney said. "I am particularly concerned about the risk to families who turn their dishwasher on and then go out or run them late at night before they go to sleep."
