News this morning an inquest ruled a woman died of smoke inhalation because her Beko tumble dryer caught fire even though she had switched it off, before retiring to bed.

Surely in this day and age of technology a device could be incorporated to prevent this happening, perhaps a very loud sounding smoke/carbon monoxide detector it was stated that the manufacturers knew of the fault within a component for four years, the model has subsequently been replaced with a new design.   Should there be a law ragarding immediate recalls.   Should there be more accountabilty.  

The total disregard for safety, and profit margins and reputation is disconcerting to say the least.

It's my considered opinion that the attitude and whitholding of information in this case is tantamount to murder for gain at the very least a criminal charge of culpable manslaughter, against all those at fault.   Like many Mega companies, what they save, scrimping and taking short cuts, is probably many times more than what they will have to pay in compensation.
