Hazard

The cable is not properly anchored and is too thin. The cable could consequently overheat, leading to burns or fire. In addition, the accessible wires have inadequate insulation and the dimensions of the mains plug are too small. As a result, the user could touch accessible live parts, which may cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60598.

Measures taken

  • Withdrawal of the product from the market — Distributor (10/02/2022)
