What the authority reported
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as it is supplied with a noncompliant travel adaptor which only has two pins, with the pins too close to the periphery of the plug edge, allowing access to live parts. The adaptor does not have a fuse link, presenting a fire hazard. There is inadequate protection against accidental contact with live parts. Additionally, metal parts were separated from live parts with basic insulation only, which does not meet the requirements for Class II appliances. If a user were to touch a part which is live, they would receive an electric shock. The product also requires improvement to marking, labelling and documentation. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
