We are afraid to tell you that Asbestos has been used in older appliances such as electric coffee pots, toasters and irons. Asbestos was also a component of some electric heaters and other items that benefit from the heat resistant properties of the material.  Nowadays, asbestos products must be marked with a large ‘A’ and a warning that breathing asbestos is dangerous to health.

When setting up a program within your organisation to make you WEEE compliant the legacy products can often provide the biggest challenges and dangers.
