What the authority reported
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the cord insulation is inadequate. The cord was found to be a parallel twin type cord, with only a single layer of PVC insulation. If the consumer were to use the lights outdoors as instructed, the cord could deteriorate in the sun causing the live wires to become exposed. The instructions did not contain some of the specified warnings which may result in the inadvertent misuse of the lighting chain. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present. 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.
