What the authority reported
The product presents a high risk of fire as the plug does not have the facility for a fuse, which means it has no protection under fault conditions. If the circuit was to overload or short, the plug could explode from the wall and catch fire. The earth pin has been fitted with a sleeve which could prevent the good earth contact, and testing found that the lengths of the live, neutral and earth pins were too short which could lead to arcing and presents a risk of fire. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and 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.
