Toshiba and Bush televisions made from 2024 – 2026 are impacted – full list of model numbers
Argos has issued a warning for more than 30 TVs that pose a “fire hazard” risk. The devices contain faulty wiring that doesn’t comply with the relevant safety standards. If the electrical system in the models was to fail, there is a “rare possibility” of a fire hazard, according to the warning.
The 17 Toshiba models, manufactured between November 2024 and February 2026, and 15 Bush models, bought between December 2024 and March 2026, are listed here. The Toshiba issue, related to the power cable and fuse, has been identified as a low risk and the majority of products aren’t affected, Argos said.
It said: “We have identified an issue related to a limited number of detachable power cables supplied with the above Toshiba televisions manufactured between November 2024 & February 2026.
“The issue relates to the fuse in certain power cables not complying with the relevant safety standards and in the event of a failure in the electrical system, there is a rare possibility of a fire hazard.
“Following further investigations, although the power cable and fuse have been identified as low risk and the majority of products are not affected, we are committed to the safety of our customers and are asking anyone who has purchased one of the above products to visit https://tvcable.pacificawarranty.com/welcome to check whether their Toshiba TV matches with the listed serial numbers of affected products.

“By entering the TV’s serial number, customers will be able to see if their product is included and, if so, follow the online steps to arrange for a replacement power cable or only the fuse itself, which will be sent free of charge. If fuse replacement is preferred, necessary instructions for such replacement can be viewed on the above website.”
Serial numbers are located on the rating label on the back of the television. Once the replacement power cable or fuse has been received, customers should remove the original power cable or fuse and dispose of it safely via a WEEE recycling facility.
Argos added: “We take the safety of our products extremely seriously and would like to apologise to customers affected for any inconvenience this may cause. No other Toshiba products are affected by this product safety notice.”
