Notice updated on 10 June 2023
My Babiie has identified there have been a small number of MB30 pushchairs that have been sold with an incorrect part. This part is a small R clip that is used to fix the rear wheel to the axle.
The R clip that's provided with your MB30 pushchair is already fitted to your axle. Customers remove these clips, install the wheel, and push the clip back into place. Unfortunately, a small batch of stock has been sent out with the wrong size R clip. This means that in certain circumstances, one of the rear wheels can detach in use.
Catalogue Number | Product Description | Batch |
---|---|---|
4032562 | My Babiie MB30 | PO1098 PO1099 PO1100 |
What do I need to do?
If your My Babiie MB30 is one of the pushchairs produced with one of the three batch numbers / PO numbers listed above, please stop using it until you get your replacement clips which can be obtained by contacting My Babiie at info@mybabiie.com ,upon receipt of the R clips, you will also receive information on how to remove and fit the R clips. Once the old R clips have been removed, these can be disposed of.
This only affects product sold in Argos between 27 April 2023 and 30 May 2023 with a batch date of PO1098, PO1099 or PO1100. All other product remains unaffected
How to find your batch code?
This is located on the outer box at the top or on the rear of the chassis as found here.

Notice updated 20th December 2019
We have been asked by Whirlpool to notify you about a potential safety issue with a number of Hotpoint and Indesit washing machines manufactured between October 2014 and February 2018.

Notice updated 18th July 2019
Since 2015, Whirlpool have been carrying out an in-home modification on all tumble dryers sold in the UK under the following brands Hotpoint, Indesit, Creda, Swan or Proline between April 2004 and September 2015, called the Whirlpool Outreach Programme.
If the dryer is left unmodified, in some rare cases, excess fluff can come into contact with the heating element and present a fire risk.
Whirlpool are now carrying out a Product Recall on any tumble dryers that remain unmodified.
Here's what you need to do
If you think you have a tumble dryer that could be impacted by the product recall:
• Do not use the appliance
• Switch it off and unplug if safe to do so
Follow Whirlpool's instructions by following this link:
Click here for more information.
or call:
UK: 0800 151 0905
ROI: 1800 804 320
Whirlpool have provided us with some additional information about the options that are available to customers, as follows:
Scenario - If a customer requests a refund from Whirlpool
How long will it take for the customer to receive money?
Is the refund contingent on Whirlpool taking the product back (Will they only get their money when WP have the old product back)?
What is the timeline on Whirlpool collecting the old item?
If a customer selects the refund option, then firstly they are presented with some date options for Whirlpool to collect the product as yes they will only get the money when the affected unit is back with Whirlpool. Whirlpool are offering delivery dates within a few days of when the customer selects this option. Once the customer selects the date then they will receive the cheque within 10 working days. It is likely to be quicker than this but that's the maximum.
Scenario - If a customer requests a modification
What is the timeline for customers to receive this modification?
Whirlpool typically offer an engineer within a week but are finding some consumers are asking for longer. Whirlpool do remind all customers they must unplug the unit and not use it until it is remove or repaired.
Scenario - If a customer wants a replacement
What is the timeline on getting a replacement?
Will Whirlpool pick up the old appliance?
Whirlpool are currently offering delivery slots a few days out and yes they collect the old appliance. If the old appliance is not there they will not leave the new one as they have to demonstrate the old one has been taken out
Scenario - If a customer who already has had a modification now wants a refund or replacement
What is the process for this?
Consumers who have had their dryer already modified can continue to use it. The Office of Public Safety and Standards confirmed this in a recent review which you can find confirmation of here.
Scenario - In the event a customer wishes to return their tumble dryer to an Argos store.
Customers must be guided to Whirlpool without any exception as they have to be able to document removing the product. Whirlpool will come to the customer's home at a convenient time for them and do this. Once this has been completed then they will be issued with the refund. It's very important to be 100% vigilant on this point (which I accept is hard but is important)
Can the store exercise discretion on the above point?
As above, Whirlpool can only carry out this process by removing the product directly themselves from the customer's home. Under no circumstances are they permitted to collect from anywhere else in accordance with how they are monitoring and reporting on this programme. The onus is on Whirlpool to carry out the recall and have evidence of any machine returned, Argos are unable to interfere in this process.
It has come to our attention that the installation instructions for the above items were unclear, specifically page 15 of the instruction manual, advising customers how to connect the cable for the oven. If the connector block was wired incorrectly, there is a risk of overheating which in extreme circumstances could lead to a fire. In addition, if the temperature within the oven exceeds the tempered glass limit, there is a risk that the glass could crack.
What you need to do
DO NOT USE YOUR OVEN until the installation has been tested by a qualified engineer.
Please call us so that we can arrange for an engineer to check the connection of your built-in oven - PH: Freephone: 1800 946744
While your oven may have been installed by a qualified person, as the instructions were unclear we want to make sure that the connection is checked. In the meantime, even if your oven is working fine, if the cable was connected incorrectly, there is a risk of overheating.
We have also included (below) a replacement page 15 for your instruction manual, should you need it in the future.
When were these products sold?
This notice only applies to any Bush LSBBDFO Double Oven - Cat. number - 8629445/8629517 purchased before 10th May 2019. Modified instructions were included in all double ovens sold after that date.

Any questions?
We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused. Customer safety is extremely important to us and we appreciate your understanding in this matter.
To arrange an engineer visit or for any query regarding your Argos order call Freephone 1800 946744

Warning: Incorrectly installed and poorly maintained tumble driers can be a fire risk. In order to help you install your product properly, and look after it once installed, please read and regularly refer to these instructions.
What should I do
YOU MUST CARRY OUT THESE IMPORTANT CHECKS after every cycle, and after cleaning the filter & hose. For cleaning & maintenance routines, refer to the instruction manual. Access the instruction manual here: https://www.argos-support.co.uk/ or if you don't have access to the internet please contact the customer helpline on 0345 257 7271 for help.
Important: Always unplug the dryer from the power socket during cleaning and maintenance.
Care & Maintenance
• Disconnect your dryer from the power source before carrying out cleaning.
• Lint must not build up around the tumble dryer. Blocked vents have the potential to cause fires.
Vent hoses require regular cleaning. Lint can build up which restricts airflow, potentially causing overheating and fire.
• The air from the vent hose must not be allowed to flow into a chimney or vent flue which is in use, it should also not be connected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces.
• Clean the Lint Filter after each use.
