- Hazard
- The product presents a serious risk of fire, as over time wires could come loose from the soldering due to vibrations/shocks. This is because the wires had only been soldered directly to battery connections with no secondary means of fixing.
- This could mean a wire might touch other connections that draw a high current, causing the product to catch fire. Improvements are also required to quality assurance, documentation, markings and the declaration of conformity.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
- Corrective action
- The import has been rejected at the border.
