Recorded risk Serious Source updated 29 July 2025

Why this product was flagged

Recorded hazard

The product presents a serious risk of fire and electric shock as the plug pins are not compatible with BS 1363 sockets and do not connect securely when in use. This could cause the product to overheat and cause a fire. The user could also receive an electric shock when inserting or removing the plug from the socket as there is inadequate protection against the live parts. Improvements are also required to the instructions, and many of the required documentation and markings are not present.
