Hazard

Live parts are easily accessible. The discharge voltage is too high after disconnection from the mains. A user may receive an electric shock. Moreover, the electrical insulation and the clearance / creepage distances between the primary and accessible secondary circuits are not sufficient, hence the product could overheat and start a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60335.

Measures taken

  • Withdrawal of the product from the market — Distributor (24/02/2023)
  • Recall of the product from end users — Distributor (24/02/2023)
