If you own a Hotpoint or Indesit gas cooker, check whether your model is affected right now. Do not use the appliance until you have confirmed it is safe.
Hotpoint and Indesit have recalled 17 gas cooker models made between 25 October and 22 November 2024 due to a risk of gas leaking from the lid shut-off valve.

What Is the Safety Issue?
Hotpoint and Indesit have identified a potential fault in the lid shut-off valve on certain gas cooker models. After repeated use over time, the valve may develop a gas leak – creating a serious risk of fire or explosion in the home.
The fault affects a specific production batch manufactured between 25 October and 22 November 2024. Appliances made outside this window are not believed to be affected, but you should always verify using the official manufacturer tool.
Do not rely solely on model lists published on websites – including this one. Lists can contain errors or become outdated. Always verify your specific appliance directly with the manufacturer using the official safety site.

CAPLE fridges safety notice warning
Caple has issued a safety notice for certain fridge models manufactured between 2007 and 2008. A component inside affected fridges can overheat and, in some cases, present a small risk of fire. The notice was originally issued in 2015 and has been reissued to reach any remaining affected units that may still be in use.
If you have a Caple fridge from this period, check whether it is affected using the serial number guide below and contact Caple immediately if it is. Do not wait – stop using the appliance until it has been assessed or modified.
Which Models Are Affected?
The safety notice applies to the following Caple fridge models:
- Ri551

Not all fridges with these model numbers are affected – only those manufactured within specific production date windows. You must check the serial number to confirm whether your fridge requires the safety modification.
How to Check Your Serial Number
The serial number on affected Caple fridges is a 20-character alphanumeric code. The production date is encoded in digits 14 and 15 of this code.
Counting from the left, positions 14 and 15 in this example are 77. If your serial number has one of the codes listed below in those positions, your fridge is affected.
Affected production date codes (digits 14 and 15)
| Affected codes |
|---|

If your fridge has one of the affected model numbers and digits 14 and 15 of the serial number match any of the codes above, the fridge is affected and must be modified.
What to Do If Your Fridge Is Affected
-
Locate the serial number label on your Caple fridge. Caple’s website includes guidance on where to find it on each affected model.
-
Write down the full serial number and identify digits 14 and 15.
-
Compare these digits against the affected codes listed above.
-
If your fridge is affected, contact Caple immediately using the details on their website. Do not continue to use the appliance until the modification has been carried out.
Full information on locating the serial number and how to arrange the safety modification is available on the Caple Appliances website.
These fridges were manufactured in 2007 and 2008. They may have changed hands or be in second homes, rented properties, or garages. If you know of an old Caple fridge from this era that might be one of the affected models, please share this notice with the owner.

Hotpoint Fridge Freezer Safety Notice
This page records a safety concern that was raised about specific Hotpoint fridge freezer models and the subsequent official clearance issued by Whirlpool and the UK Government. The affected models are FF175BP (white) and FF175BG (graphite), manufactured between March 2006 and July 2009.
Investigations by the UK Government and Whirlpool confirmed there are no safety issues with these models. Owners can continue to use them as normal. The full statement is reproduced below.
Affected Models
The models that were subject to the safety review are:
- FF175BP (white)
- FF175BG (graphite)
Both models were manufactured between March 2006 and July 2009.
Background
Following reports in 2017 that a fridge freezer may have been the source of the Grenfell Tower fire, Hotpoint initially identified these two models as warranting investigation. An initial safety notice was issued, and owners of the affected models were advised to check their appliances while the investigation was carried out.
The Grenfell Tower Inquiry was a formal public inquiry that ran for several years and examined the causes and circumstances of the fire in detail. The cause of the fire and the wider circumstances were the subject of extensive investigation by multiple authorities. This page does not seek to summarise the Inquiry’s findings, which are a matter of public record.
Official Outcome: No Safety Issue Found
Following investigation by both the UK Government and Whirlpool (the parent company of Hotpoint), the safety notice was withdrawn. Whirlpool issued the following statement:
“Investigations by the UK Government and Whirlpool have confirmed there are no safety issues with Hotpoint fridge freezer models FF175BP (white) and FF175BG (graphite). As previously advised, owners of these products can continue to use them as normal.”
Hotpoint subsequently removed the original safety notice from their website following this clearance.

The following built-in gas hobs produced between January 2009 and October 2011 are affected:
