Hazard

The cable lacks a cable strain relief and therefore is not properly anchored. Moreover, the accessible wires have inadequate insulation, and the structure of the cord extension socket allows single-pole insertion of plugs. The product is not protected against moisture although it is recommended for outdoor use. Consequently, the water could penetrate the product, or 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 (14/05/2025)
  • Ban on the marketing of the product and any accompanying measures — Distributor (14/05/2025)
