Hazard

The product was provided with an Australian plug and UK adaptor which was loosely fitted and did not meet the dimensional requirements of BS1363 as the adaptor’s live pin was too close to the outside edge of the plug. The user could touch the live pin when plugging in, or unplugging, the product from the socket, which presents a serious risk of electric shock. The product does not meet the requirements of the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.
