- Hazard
- The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as it is possible to access live parts without tools. A user or young child could remove the cover of the colourful element without tools and receive an electric shock. The wires attaching the bulbs can also detach at a force of below 10N, exposing live wires. The cross-sectional area of the wiring is too thin (8 times less than required in the standard), which could allow the wires to overheat and catch alight, causing a fire.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
- Corrective action
- The product has been recalled from end users and withdrawn from the market by the distributor Master News (AG Food and Wine Limited).
