Having "banned" it, how do you reduce the number of that model which
remain in use?

In social housing, you insist on inspecting the flats, and if an
appliance with the failing model number turns up you remove it.

On similar grounds to their resentment at being carted off to labour

tumble driers which are the subject of a recall.

Public safety, like the annual gas-safe tests in tented property.

or is it one of the

You'll have read about the recent Currys PC World recall emails,
