So how is that the fault of Beko ? Perhaps if CO alarms were compulsory, along with heat alarms, they may have survived.

If the grill isn't supposed to function with the door closed, do safety standards dictate a cut-off should be fitted?
 
Ihavenojob....... hmmmm. How is it the manufacturers fault that they manufacture & sell a product that doesn’t have the appropriate safety devices & has caused multiple deaths?
IF ITS NOT THEIR FAULT, WHOS IS IT!!
You’re not the lawyer for a cigarette company by any chance are you?
 
You could also say that it wasn't Beko's fault that the shops that sold those appliances that slipped through the net did so because the shops records were not kept properly.

What safety devices, are Beko not fitting mandatory safety devices which other manufacturers are? I know my one hasn't got one. If a hair dryer maker says in their instructions "don't stand in a bath full of water while using this product " , but people did, and died , would the maker be liable ? Certain things are dangerous, sometimes lethally so, if not used as specified

Yeah well that tells me you are not. If you don’t think a manufacturer has a responsibility, join the NRA

They do have a responsibility, the cooker is subject to tests, and if it passes it is given a CE mark so it can be sold in the eu. Part of these tests are understandable instructions, which will tell you how to use the appliance SAFELY. Unless all these cookers were imported and fitted illegally, then Beko has acted correctly. There was also a recall on the cooker for a modification to the door seal.
