Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some Caple gas cookers have elbow joints that may break inside the appliance. Gas can leak out through the crack and cause fire, burns, or poisoning.

What's happening? The broken joint lets gas escape. If the gas lights, it can start a fire or explosion. Breathing the gas can also make you sick.

Does this affect me? If you own a Caple cooker with model numbers C749G, C750G, C767G, C768G, C774G, or C775G, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the cooker right away. Ask your gas supplier or a qualified engineer to check and fix it.
