- Hazard
- The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as it has poor mechanical strength and a lack of acceptable creepage distance. During drop and impact tests the enclosure opened giving users access to live parts. There was also found to be a creepage distance of 0mm, which could result in the product becoming live, potentially giving the user an electric shock if they were to touch an accessible live part. The product also failed electrical strength tests and was missing the Class II equipment marking on the label.
- The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
- Corrective action
- Removal of the listing by the online marketplace (Amazon). We recommend owners stop using this product immediately. Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress.
