Published by Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS): · Ref. 2208-0021
Reason for the recall
- The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the lengths of the live and neutral pins were too short and therefore not compatible with sockets outlets conforming to BS 1363. The conductors had been soldered onto their respective terminals and there were no barriers to prevent a detached wire from reducing creepage distances and clearances to levels below the minimum required by the standard.
