Boaters urged to check cookers after safety warning
19 January 2010
An urgent appeal has gone out to boaters from the manufacturers of Belling, Flavel, Leisure and New World cookers - act now to avoid the risk of potentially fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.
As a result, the Boat Safety Scheme is urging boat owners, including those that rent and hire their craft, to check the brand and model of their cooker as there is a serious risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from some models.
Free modifications by the suppliers' engineers to the cookers are available to prevent the risk of CO if the grill is used accidentally with the door shut. This is a quick and simple operation.
The Boat Safety Scheme advises any boat owners with the following appliances to call the freephone number 0800 342 3049 to have their appliance modified as soon as they can:
