FOLO-UP Product Safety Report: 2511-0123 HOPEXY LED String Lights sold via Amazon
A set of LED string lights for a Christmas tree, with a battery-operated remote control and wall plug.
Why this product was flagged
Recorded hazard
The product presents a serious risk of fire as the plug does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 and therefore cannot make a secure connection with the socket. This could cause the product to arc or spark during use, leading to a fire. The product is also advertised as suitable for outdoor use, with insufficient instructions to indicate that the adaptor should not be exposed to moisture or rainwater.
What the notice records
Corrective action
The import has been rejected at the border.
