What the authority reported
The product presents a high risk of electric shock as the cord insulation is inadequate and not suitable for long-term use outside. The consumer could receive an electric shock if the product becomes water damaged due to the incorrect cabling. 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.
