What the authority reported
The product presents a serious risk of fire, as over time wires could come loose from the soldering due to vibrations/shocks. This is because the wires had only been soldered directly to battery connections with no secondary means of fixing. This could mean a wire might touch other connections that draw a high current, causing the product to catch fire. Improvements are also required to quality assurance, documentation, markings and the declaration of conformity. The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
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.
