Fire hazard: The County Council and fire service are requesting people send back a fridge freezer model due to a number of fires.
Lincolnshire County Council are warning residents in the county to check their fridge freezers, due to a fire hazard in a particular model.
Due to a product safety warning issued by London Fire Brigade causing recalls, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue are asking people who own a BEKO fridge freezer to check theirs.
It is believed around 500,000 homes and business have the BEKO model manufactured between January 2000 and October 2006, which has been the cause of many fires.
If someone owns this model, or a model badged LEC, they should contact BEKO by calling freephone 0800 009 4837.
