Forbes Rentals: An Important Message Regarding Your Heat Pump Tumble Dryer

By Hannah Forbes | First published: 14th August 2025

You may have recently seen news reports regarding an immediate stop warning issued by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) for around 17,000 heat pump tumble dryers. We understand you may be concerned and would like to reassure you.

The Forbes Rentals Bosch heat pump dryers are NOT affected by this warning.

The stop warning affects specific models from brands including Candy, Baumatic, Caple, Haier, Hoover, Iberna, Lamona, and Montpellier. It is important to note that this is a very specific issue related to appliances that were modified by Haier under a Corrective Action Programme.

As a Forbes Rentals customer, you can continue to use your Bosch heat pump dryer with complete peace of mind. Your appliance is not one of the models affected by this safety alert.
