More than 6,390 televisions in Ireland have been recalled due to a dangerous fuse issue which poses a fire risk.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission said a safety problem has been identified with the fuse inside certain power plugs fitted to some Toshiba, Technika and Walker televisions, reports RTE.
“The product represents a fire risk because the fuse inside the supplied UK power plug may not operate correctly.”
“If an electrical fault occurs, the fuse may fail to disconnect the power supply, allowing electricity to continue flowing into the TV, which could lead to overheating or fire,” the CCPC said, reports RTE.
Consumers are being advised to stop using the affected product immediately, switch it off, and disconnect it from the mains.
The CCPC stated that the safety concern relates to the mains plug fuse and not to the television unit itself, reports RTE.
Approximately 6,206 affected products were on sale in the Republic of Ireland between October 2025 and April 2026.
Separately, the CCPC said a safety issue has also been found with the fuse within certain power plugs in a specific batch of NordMende televisions, with approximately 189 affected units in the Republic of Ireland, reports RTE.
“The product presents a fire risk because the fuse inside the supplied UK power plug may not operate correctly.”
“If an electrical fault occurs, the fuse may fail to disconnect the power supply, allowing electricity to continue flowing into the TV, which could lead to overheating or fire. The product safety issue relates to the mains plug fuse and not to the television unit itself,” the CCPC said, reports RTE.
