Why this product was flagged
Recorded hazard
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the product has a counterfeit plug with insufficient distance between the pins and the periphery. Furthermore, the pins are too thin and short. The fuse has no granular filler, which is required to ensure the safe operation of the fuse under fault conditions. The consumer could likely touch the live pins whilst trying to plug in or remove the plug, giving them an electric shock.
