Reported risk: The product presents a risk of fire and electric shock as it does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363. The ISOD pin is below the minimum permitted tolerance and the neutral pin sleeve is in excess of the maximum permitted tolerance. Short pins can cause arcing and sparking in the socket, potentially resulting in a fire. Oversized pins can damage a socket and result in a poor-quality connection thereafter. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
What to do

Check whether your product matches this notice (name, batch, dates). If it does, stop using it and follow the instructions in the official notice — refund, return, repair or disposal are set by the issuing authority and the business, and they differ per recall.
