ooops.......how does these products like the fridge get into Australian made products?

We hear that its dangerous to live or be in new high rise apartments as the cladding (made in China) is not to standard and there have already been two major fires where the cladding didn't stop the fire as required.

I wont start on food.........does no govt dept enforce what quality regulations exist - or aren't the regs up to date anymore?

JURGENS CARAVANS AUSTRALIA
We are posting on this forum to correct misinformation that has appeared in the media and various forums. There has been no incidents whatsoever of explosions or fire in relation to this recall. We respect the reputation of our valued fridge supplier and can confirm the fridge is in no way faulty. The issue with the fridge ignition system is related to incorrect wiring during installation. The recall details were amended to reflect this on 3rd Aug 2015 refer http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/1073765.We initiated the recall as we place a high priority on safety no matter how small the risk. We advise owners of affected caravans to act on the recall as soon as possible. Full details can be found on the Jurgens website. http://jurgens.com.au/News/IMPORTANT-NOTICE.aspx
