Hazard

The basic insulated cable could detach or be damaged leaving the live conductors accessible. Water penetration is possible as the product is not protected against moisture. As a consequence, users could receive an electric shock. The cable is also too thin and not properly anchored. During normal use it could overheat, leading to a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.

Measures taken

  • Withdrawal of the product from the market — Distributor (12/08/2018)
  • Recall of the product from end users — Distributor (12/08/2018)
