What the authority reported
The product presents a serious risk of fire because the connections to the on/off switch are inadequate, and include wires soldered directly to the PCB with no secondary means of restraint. The plug face does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 and cannot make a secure connection to the socket. The plug fuse is also counterfeit and does not contain a ballast. In the even of an electrical fault, the product may overheat and could catch fire. Improvements are also required to the product’s markings, warnings and instructions. 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.
