Gas cooker users have been warned by a number of high-end companies to check their batch numbers, as a series of models currently pose a carbon monoxide risk.
A number of Belling, Stoves and New World gas range cookers have been found to have a seal fault on the grill element, which can lead to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide being produced, which can lead to injury and death. Consumers are warned that incorrect use of these products poses a serious risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, until a critical modification has been made.
Until the fix has been actioned, customers can continue to use the grill on their gas range cookers only as per the instruction manual but must ensure that the grill door is left fully open while the gas grill is in operation.
