The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) issued a safety notice as a number of machines produced on Haier’s production line in Turkey are at risk of an internal short circuit occurring during normal use. This has the potential to cause the tumble dryer to ignite and start a fire.

Haier started a corrective action programme earlier in 2025 for 103,000 affected machines, but was told to halt this by the OPSS due to concerns that the modification was still unsafe.

Following an updated modification, Haier has resumed its programme and begun contacting consumers again. They initially focused on arranging a second repair for previously-modified machines and are now arranging repairs for the remaining 85,000 owners whose appliances still present a fire risk.

Haier also own many familiar brands including those from the Candy group. The following tumble dryers are affected by the recall:
