Redarc are being very proactive in this recall and in the first phase of getting information out to the public, they are very much into the initial awareness stage.
According to Anthony Kittel, Managing Director, REDARC Electronics, “Redarc are really pushing the awareness program and are asking any potentially affected customers to check their controller and call Redarc, or go back to the place of installation for checking if they are unsure.”
During the defined period they want to get every applicable unit back, regardless of whether it’s been fitted correctly or not, so that Redarc can meet the ACCC guidelines for recalls.
