They warned that the overheating posed a potential electric shock risk, and was a fire hazard.

Which units are affected?

The only model affected by the announcement is the Safeguard+.

The Safeguard+ units in question have the product code CSGP0 and the timestamp 05/14 to 12/16 on the underside.

Triton has asked customers who find signs of discolouration on the affected units to stop using them immediately.

Customers should check for:

- any heat build up noticeable or a distinctive overheating smell

- Discolouration on the casing top. If there is none, then you can continue to use the shower
