What the authority reported
The product presents a serious risk of fire because there is a lack of thermal protection to prevent overheating when it is subject to misuse. As there are no supplied instructions, it is possible that no water will be added to the product, and whilst it is plugged in and charging, it may ignite whilst the user is not present, causing harm to consumer and home. Additionally, the adaptor supplied with the product has incorrectly sized pins and does not meet the requirements of the relevant standard. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets (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.
