Halton Borough Council Trading Standards is urging residents to register their white goods for project recalls.
Nearly half of all domestic appliances aren’t yet registered for product recalls and safety updates.
A spokesman said: “During lockdown we relied on them to protect and provide for our families. Keep the magic going by registering. It’s free. www.registermyappliance.org.uk
