According to estimates from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), clothes dryers are responsible for an average of 6,400 fires each year. Crucially, CPSC research reveals that cleaning the lint trap alone is not enough. According to data, the duct or venting system is the single most frequent location where dryer fires originate, followed closely by the lint trap itself. Plastic and foil ducts trap lint easily and are prone to kinking, which severely reduces airflow. Plastic and foil ducts trap lint easily and are prone to kinking, which severely reduces airflow.
