- Hazard
- The product presents a high risk of electric shock as it included a detached wire, which could cause an electric shock if it were to make the product live. Furthermore, the product could overheat due to the inadequately sized pins. When tested, the conductors had been soldered onto their respective terminals and had not been held in place independently of the soldered connection or securely hooked in position prior to soldering. There were no barriers to prevent a detached wire from reducing creepage distances and clearances to levels below the minimum required.
- The product also possessed a noncompliant plug with insufficiently thick live and neutral pins which were also too close to the edge of the plug, presenting an electric shock risk. The instructions were inadequate as they did not contain sufficient information to ensure the correct and safe use of the equipment. The product and its power supply unit had not been marked with the name, trademark or other means for the identification of the manufacturer.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
- Corrective action
- The import has been rejected at the border.
- The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (eBay).
