- Hazard
- The product presents a high risk of electric shock as it is inadequately earthed and it was not locked against accidental loosening. If the product is knocked over or dropped, it could become live and cause an electric shock when touched.
- Additionally, the plug on the product does not meet the requirements of BS1363-1 as the dimensions of the sleeved parts of the pins differed from the metal parts of the pins. This resulted in a distinct step between the two. This could cause damage to the socket and undue wear and tear to the sleeve. The instructions were deemed inadequate, and some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
- Corrective action
- The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
- The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (OnBuy).
