It’s been brought to our attention that there are several companies manufacturing incubators in China who are trying to either pass their incubators off as being made by Brinsea Products Ltd, or are using Brinsea’s name to promote their own incubators. We do not manufacture any of our incubators in China, all of our products are made in sunny Weston-super-Mare in North Somerset in the UK.
All Brinsea incubators have the Brinsea Incubation Specialists logo marked clearly on the product and our factory name and address in Weston-super-Mare on the CE label.
Definitely NOT Brinsea incubators!
UK Trading Standards have been investigating imported egg incubators for some time.
Egg incubators involve mains electricity, heating and water and are used in the home, sometimes by children and these factors mean a poorly designed incubator can pose particular hazards, hence Trading Standards’ interest.
It requires some experience to spot dangerous incubators but there are a few things to look for when buying an incubator which should raise concerns:
If you have bought an egg incubator recently which you are concerned about please contact your local Trading Standards office – and the supplier you purchased the incubator from, informing them of Trading Standards’ on-going investigation.
