What the authority reported
The product presents a serious risk of fire as the conductors are too thin and offer little to no protection from overheating. The poor conductors may overheat, and the cables could catch fire. The fuse had not been supplied with any granular filler. The filler is required to ensure the safe operation of the fuse under fault conditions. In addition, the chain was fitted with a non-UK plug that had been fitted with a conversion plug which did not comply with BS1363-5. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
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.
