What the authority reported
The product presents a high risk of fire because it has poor quality internal soldering and may not operate safely under fault conditions. The plug is also considered counterfeit and has a fuse without any ballast. The ballast is required to ensure the safe operation of the fuse under fault conditions, and its absence could lead to the plug overheating and/or exploding. 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.
