C.A.D.S. indoor tv antenna with amplifier (uhf-vhf) — electric shock risk

EU Safety GateSerious riskElectric shockFeb 20, 2009

Hazard

The product poses a risk of electric shock because: - the dimensions of the plug significantly differ from the requirement, the electric strength between the live and accessible parts is non-compliant, thus flashover occurs at a lower voltage than required, - the cross-section area of the core is much smaller (<0.1mm2) than the required 0.5mm2, - the cord anchorage at the inlet of the mains supply cord is non-compliant, so the conductors of the mains supply cord and the wires of the transformer can move and become accessible. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60065.

Measures taken

  • Withdrawal from the market and recall from consumers ordered by the authorities — Other
