"It happened last Sunday. Every morning, I used my rice cooker. I felt a few minutes later an odd smell in the house but I do not care am. This was the aircraft that had burned! " This is the testimony of this resident of Rose-Belle criminalizing the rice cooker Pacific while the black series continues with fans of this brand. Not later than Wednesday, January 22, one of the fans exploded Mauritius Turf Club . Next day Rayaz Boolaky came forward to denounce the fact that his solar water heater of this brand caught fire ...

"I bought this rice cooker there a year and I use it to boil water in particular, explains the 60 year old woman. When I saw that the aircraft was below the melting , I immediately turned off.

Alerted to this case, the company intends to go to the home of the latter to ascertain the facts.She says officers also inspect the solar water heater Rayaz Boolaky. But the latter, categorically said they had not authorized such a visit. The Thursday, January 23, the water heater brandPacific was engulfed in flames. The unit a year old and was installed by the electrician family which also provides regular maintenance.

For him, out of the question that King Bros inspect the appliance. Contrary to the assertions the company said in a statement issued Friday, January 24. "I only authorized inspector of the Ministry of Commerce to check the unit burned for an independent report. I claim nothing toKing Bros. Co. Ltd. , or even repaint it part of my house covered with soot, " maintains this inhabitant of Highlands. What matters, he says, is that his family is safe. "Never again will I buy an electrical appliance that mark!" he says.

" Every day, they are at least thirty to bring their fans to the workshop of King Bros, "said Alexandre Laridon, communications officer of the company. Most had never been the subject of an interview. "There has even been a case where a customer has used the fan for 14 years. And for the consumer, there is no question of changing the device as long as it works. But the life of a fan does not exceed five years, " says the communications officer. The device must not be used " continuously for a period of more than five hours to avoid any risk of overheating .
