- Hazard
- This product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the instructions were inadequate in relation to keeping wires out of reach of the pets in the crate. If a pet is placed in the crate and left unsupervised, and the wire for heating the pad is accessible to them. They may bite through the wires, leading to an electric shock.
- The heating radiators were not guarded, leaving hot surfaces accessible to the pet. Additionally, a temperature and humidity indicating device is supplied with the product, to be stored in the cage. The indicator presents a choking hazard, and as it contains a button cell battery, could cause internal burns to the pet.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
