It's disgusting that a company like Beko can sell a product knowing it to be potentially dangerous. Also worth noting that my Mum did not even realise that the grill was onas the flames on the Leisures are hard to see and there is no indicator to say that the grill is lit.

My son and his friend passed away in nov last year.we were unaware of the recall on these cookers and received no letters or phone calls.I have found several other cases on the net.why were these cookers alowed to be sold.by putting 'do not operate with door closed' they must have known what happened when you did shut it.this cooker was still on sale after 5 deaths had occured. these cookers are still killing people.

I know most gas cookers with a glass lid for example are designed with valves that operate and shut off the gas if the lid is closed - presumably to prevent the glass heating up and shattering yet something that could kill is not protected? If the consequences of closing the grill door are potentially fatal, it's hard to imagine why they wouldn't be automatically designed so that as soon as the grill door is closed it shuts off the gas to the grill.

She was with her partner who also died. I cannot understand the lack of responsibility on the part of the company. The gas board are equally useless in their investigations of such deaths!!!!!!!!! I reside in the USA and hate to say it, but there would certainly have been more owness placed on the company of Beko and Dimplex for their rather feeble excuse of signage warning not to keep the door closed. It was a tragic loss of 6 lives!! My sister was actually one of the 6 victim’s who died on Christmas day 2008. She was with her partner who also died.
