What the authority reported
The product presents a serious risk of fire due to the excessive resistance in the supply cord, which may cause the cable to overheat. The mains plug also does not meet the marking and dimensional requirements of BS 1363 and is not fitted with an appropriate fuse link. A compliant fuse is required to ensure the safe operation of the product under fault conditions, and its absence could lead to the plug overheating and/or exploding. Improvements are also required to the product’s warnings, markings and instructions. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and 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.
