Why this product was flagged
Recorded hazard
The product presents a high risk of electric shock as the plug does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 and may not make a secure connection with the socket. This could lead to the user accidentally touching a live part during use and receiving an electric shock. Additionally, the plug fuse does not confirm to the requirements of BS 1362. The fuse is required to ensure the safe operation of the plug under fault conditions, and a non-conforming fuse could lead to the plug overheating and/or exploding. Improvements are also required to product documentation and marking.
