SANYO Sales & Marketing Europe GmbH (SANYO S&M) has announced that some SANYO Microwave Ovens (EM-C8787B UK2 and EM-C8787W) sold in the UK and Ireland may cause severe electric shock to the user during operation.

The company is also issuing a recall for all affected products, and delivering the message through a broad range of media organisations.
SANYO S&M would like to express our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience that may have been caused to the customers concerned.

In some microwave ovens with the model number and serial number above, there is an insulation defect caused by the faulty plating of the operation buttons. As this poses a risk of electrical shock during operation, SANYO S&M is recalling the products concerned and giving owners a refund.
All other SANYO microwave oven models can be used without any concern.
