Dapol issues product recall

Dapol is issuing a product recall on models of its 4mm:1ft / OO gauge water tower. The manufacturer has found that a sub-standard component used during production of motorised models has been discovered to fail when using a 15VAC power supply. 

The manufacturer explained "Dapol undertakes stringent testing on all of its products and only grants permission to go into production when we are confident that a product meets the very highest quality and safety standards. Subsequent to these approvals, we have discovered that a sub-standard component has been used during production of our operating water tower."

Dapol is issuing a safety recall on 4A-002-002, 4A002-004, 4A-002-006 and 4A-002-008 products. "Replacement products with correctly-specified components will become available in due course," added Dapol.

If affected, customers are advised to arrange return of models to their place of purchase for refund.
