Hazard

The power supply cable has no adequate earthing system. Protection class 1 devices (Schuko plugs) connected to the product are therefore not connected to the protective earthing of the electrical installation. If the connected device has a fault, accessible conductive parts (e.g. metal housing) may be live. The user could therefore receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.

Measures taken

  • Recall of the product from end users — Manufacturer
  • Withdrawal of the product from the market — Manufacturer
