What the authority reported
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the heating element could be accessed with minimal force. The plug face also did not meet the dimensional requirements of the relevant standard, exposing users to an electric shock hazard when unplugging, or plugging in, the plug from the socket. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.
