And they decided not to recall it. Tho how the fuck you'd ever trace it and work out where it was........ And then imagine the costs involved in doing so - another rewire for some people, which would have to include redecoration. I've seen this in loads of places, one of the discount wholesalers near here used to carry it. There's a reason I use Prysmian / Doncaster cables!
