Hazard

The product's guard is in direct contact with the heating elements, making accessible parts very hot. This can cause burns if touched by a user, especially children. Also, the product is not correctly earthed, which means it can become live; users may then receive an electric shock when touching it. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and with the European standard EN 60335.

Measures taken

  • Recall of the product from end users — Distributor
