    Report summary

    Terence Penney received fatal injuries in a fire at his home on 21 February 2018. The fire followed the accidental ignition of leaking Iso-butane from a domestic refrigerator when he switched on an electric coffee machine. The principal concern was that similar leaks could occur in other refrigerators, including older units, with potentially similar consequences.

    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to Glen Dimplex Home Appliances Limited; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Domestic fridges in circulation at risk of vapour leaks causing fires

    Wider context from the report

    “1. This fire occurred as a result of a vapour leak from a domestic fridge 2. No issue had been detected with the unit previously 3. The unit was barely 5 years old. 4. There was no suggestion that the unit had been abused or worked upon or that the leak arose as a consequence of anything other than a failure of the unit 5. There is likely to be a significant number of these units in circulation, some of them older than that owned by Mr Penney. The possibility of similar leaks occurring elsewhere and with similar tragic consequences must be considered. ”
