- Hazard
- The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the user can touch a high voltage part. If the user’s finger were to slip whilst inserting or removing the plug from the mains socket, they would receive an electric shock.
- Additionally, the product also presents a risk of fire as there is a lack of necessary over current protection as there is no fuse provision. This means that if the product we’re to develop a fault over time, components could overheat and catch fire. 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 listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Fruugo).
- We recommend owners stop using this product immediately. Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress.
