No 'rejects’ sold in Chch
None of the defective electric blankets being recalled by both Zip Holdings, Ltd, and Wool worths and McKenzies chain stores were ; sold in Christchurch. It was announced on Tuesday that 4000 electric blankets sold under the name “Chevron,” and coloured cream on one side and orange on the other, were to be recalled for safety reasons. Recall notices have appeared in Christchurch newspapers, and advertisements have been aired on
both radio and television, but a spokesman for the chainstore group said yesterday that none of the blankets had been sold in the South Island. “We are at a loss as to why they are advertising so extensively here,” she said. “The recalled blankets were distributed only in the North Island.” South Island stores had sold “Ralta” brand blankets, and not “Chevron,” she said. The recall notices and advertisements had brought many anxious callers inquring about the blankets, she said.
