On Your Behalf: Safety at Christmas

Safety at Christmas

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, Safety at Christmas

Electrical safety at Christmas and the risks of buying a voucher as a present.

The problem with vouchers, Christmas fire hazards and John French of the Consumer Council has advice on how to avoid penalties for parking on private land.

Its Christmas time - everyone's full of joy and love ....everyone - except our old friend Phil Buckle at Electrical Safety first. Where we see sparkly tinsel and lights, he sees a fire hazard - especially on real Christmas trees! Thinking of buying a voucher as a present? We investigate your rights with expiry dates and if you're sending Christmas cards - might that stamp be a fake? And what happens if it is? The not-so-cheery story of a woman and the car that's been in and out of the garage since she bought it. We ask Jimmy Hughes of trading standards when and how can you reject a car? John French Chief Executive of the Consumer Council has advice on how to avoid penalties for parking on private land or at a retail park - who needs one of those at this expensive time of year.
