AlI,I understand this may be slightly off topic but just a heads up if you
have had electrical work done it may be prudent to confirm with your
supplier the cable they used.

Infinity Electrical Cable Recall

Eighteen electrical retailers and wholesalers recalled Infinity electrical
cables due to safety concerns on 27 August 2014.

The cables were supplied in NSW (2010-2013); ACT (2011-2013); in Victoria,
Queensland, South Australia & Western Australia (all 2012-2013) and in
Tasmania in 2013. It is estimated that around 40,000 homes, commercial and
residential buildings could be affected.

A taskforce of consumer agencies, building regulators and electrical safety
regulators are coordinating the safety recall.

Details of the recall notice are available at:

<https://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/1061753>

Consumers who purchased the affected cable, or who suspect the cable was
installed in their premises, should contact the supplier of cable (if they
are aware who the supplier was) or the responsible builder, electrical
contractor or appliance installer in the first instance.

Masters Home Improvement has further information for its customers on
their Infinity
and Olsent cable help page.

In addition to the 18 recalls negotiated by the ACCC, state and territory
regulators are working with a number of other local suppliers in relation
to cable they supplied. Details of those local area negotiations being
managed by state and territory regulators are expected to be announced in
due course. A nineteenth smaller wholesaler has completed a recall of the
product.
