Turkish Fridges Added To Ever-Growing List Of Shoddy Crap That Is Trying To Kill You

An estimated 500,000 homes are thought to be in imminent danger of exploding in flames, warn safety experts, thanks to their pauper occupants’ touching faith in the quality of Turkish electrical engineering.

“A fridge freezer from Germany, where the fundamental incompatibility of electricity and water is generally understood, normally costs about £600,” said a spokesman for the London Fire Brigade. “A Beko will typically save you a whopping £350, as long as you don’t mind waking up sweating with terror every night, convinced that your kids are choking to death on billowing toxic fumes.”

The elementary design flaw, which has led to at least 20 fires and caused a blaze in a London tower block only last week, allows water to seep into a timer switch, shorting it out and causing nearby plastics to burst into flame.

A spokesman for Beko said the company had asked Allah, who is responsible for its quality control, to contact at-risk customers and fix the fault if it was his will that they should live.
