Conclusion (the committee's words)
Whirlpool’s modification programme started in November 2015. It is very disappointing that it took up until July 2019 for Whirlpool to publish a full list of defective tumble dryers as requested by safety organisations and MPs. We are particularly concerned that OPSS and the Minister did not intervene to compel Whirlpool to provide this information. This is further evidence of the inability of OPSS to provide proper challenge to companies on product safety matters.
