With winter fast approaching, Havering Council’s Trading Standards team have organised a free, electric blanket safety check for the borough’s residents.
Taking place on Tuesday November 6 at Langtons (Hornchurch), residents will be welcome to bring their electric blankets for a safety inspection by a specially-appointed fully qualified electrical consultant. A one-year certificate of inspection will be issued after each check. Unsafe products will receive a certificate detailing the reasons for the inspection failure.
This will be the third year that the scheme has been offered, and it has proved extremely popular particularly with mothers of young children and older people. However the Council will offer a product collection, inspection and return service for those genuinely unable to attend in person.
The free inspection will be offered on a first come first served basis between 10am and 3pm on November 6. For further details and information, please contact phone 01708 433430.
