What the authority reported
The product presents a serious risk of fire and electric shock as it’s fitted with a counterfeit fuse which may not protect the product from potentially catching fire and injuring the user. The product also failed the electric strength test and there was a single insulation mains potential wiring in contact with unearthed accessible metallic parts, presenting an electric shock hazard to the user. 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.
