Hello @Globster. I don't know for certain but it could be that they want to refurbish it or return it to the manufacturer to complain.Community Manager

Hi
They will take away anything that isn't fit for use as they have a duty of care for your safety and health so want to make sure you don't continue to use the old one when they replace it . Also it is their property as anything they supply is only on loan -
