What the authority reported
The product presents a high risk of fire because some batches have been found to have mixed fuse sizes. Some units are carrying a 5 AMP fuse which means there is a risk of overheating when the heater is on full power and damage could be caused to the plug/socket. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.
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.
