Noveau Gas Cabinet heater
The problem
This heater uses a 4kg gas cylinder which is not required to have an Overfill Protection Device (OPD). The lack of an OPD on the gas cylinder could increase the potential harm to the user if the cylinder is overfilled. The 4kg cylinder is tested and approved for use, but should not be used with this heater.

"My mother (74) got a renewal letter from her insurance company for her car insurance, wanting $570. After reading
your article on car insurance, I contacted one of the companies you recommended, who quoted her $318 for the same
level of cover. I just wanted to stay thank you very much for your article, as it has saved my mother a substantial amount of money".
