Hazard

The product poses: - a risk of fire because the filler cap of the lamp, which is also the wick-guard of the lamp, is completely loose and therefore the lamp leaks when tilted at 90 degrees. - a chemical risk because the structure makes the wick easily accessible to children. The filler cap on the oil container is not childproof. Small children can put the wick in their mouths and ingest lamp oil. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 14059.

Measures taken

  • Import rejected at border — Other
