Household appliances 'trigger five fires a day': Charity warns of the dangers of fridges and tumble dryers in the wake of Grenfell Tower blaze - household electrical appliances

According to reports today, five fires a day in the UK are caused by refrigerators, tumble dryers and other appliances.
The warning came after the Grenfell Tower tragedy, which was triggered by a refrigerator failure.
The charity "Electrical Safety First" (ESF) said the fire was one of more than 1,800 fires caused by kitchen appliances every year.
It called on the government to establish a free fire risk testing system for all Tower residents.
According to the current electrical recall system, only items identified as fire risk are not tracked and fixed.
As a result, millions of refrigerators and tumble dryers known to be dangerous remain at home.
Two years ago, the government formally reviewed the recall system, but ministers failed to implement its proposals, putting families at risk.
Last month's Grenfell Tower fire was one of three tower fires blamed on electrical equipment in recent years.
This was caused by a defective hot-spot refrigerator owned by Whirlpool, which is not on the safety recall list.
On last August, after a tower in the Sheppard jungle in west London was safely recalled by Whirlpool, a fire caused by a faulty tumble dryer broke out on 2009, when a fire broke out at the Cumberwell Lakanal House in southern London, six people died.
It is believed that this was caused by the electrical failure of the TV.
ESF said that there were about 1,873 fires caused by white household appliances in the UK alone last year, equivalent to more than 5 per day.
Martin Allen, technical director of ESF, said: "tenants have the right to live in a house with safe electrical installations and appliances.
We would like to see the government implement mandatory safety inspections as a matter of urgency.
Esf has written to the minister in charge, Margot James.
It said housing associations and councils should have legal responsibility to ensure free mandatory electrical safety inspections in the tower area.
It says they should also keep a register of white goods in the block to make sure they are not on the product fire risk list.
