Hazard

The product poses a risk of electric shock and fire because:·         The dimensions of the built-in plug and the adaptor are not as required;·         During normal use live parts are accessible, since single-pole insertion of the plug is possible.;·         The built-in plug fixing plastic is not sufficiently resistant to flames. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the relevant European standard EN 60598.

Product description

Rechargeable torch. The housing with 12 LEDs is made of plastic, with an on-off switch. The battery can be charged with the telescopic pins of the built-in plug without earth contact. A bipolar adaptor with plastic housing is attached to the product.
