 Tumbledrier fires

The UK Local Government Association, which speaks for Fire Service personnel, has recently drawn attention to an increasing number of house fires caused by faulty tumbledriers [1]. It is worth reading the manufacturers' response, particularly the 'simple precautions' which users are advised to take to mitigate the problem. Is this an interesting case of temporal ALARP?
