What to do...
Stop using and dispose of the heaters in such a way that they cannot be used: The "Electricity Regulations Prohibited Electrical Appliances Notice for the heaters mean that it is prohibited to sell or give away your heater.
Consumers need to use a licenced electrical worker to remove the unit.
