Dusk oil burners recalled over electrocution fears
Home fragrance and candles retailer dusk has issued a recall for several of its electric oil burners over a potentially dangerous switch defect.
The recall was issued after it was discovered the switch mechanism on some oil burners could pop out and expose live electrical parts.
"There is a risk of serious injury or death from electric shock if the switch mechanism pops out," the ACCC's Product Safety Australia said in a recall notice.
