Jordan limits heaters to avoid past tragedy
The relevant authorities in Jordan have temporarily seized approximately 53,000 heaters from markets and warehouses for inspection and to ensure they meet safety standards. This action aims to prevent the recurrence of fatal accidents that occurred last year, which resulted in the deaths of 15 people due to the use of non-compliant heaters. The government emphasized a ban on the manufacture, distribution, and sale of a specific type of heater known as "Shamosa," which caused gas leaks and deadly suffocations due to its defects. Measures are also being taken to destroy non-compliant units and distribute safe alternatives. These steps are part of intensified monitoring efforts ahead of the winter season to ensure the safety of citizens.
