Hazard

The product has been recalled as it presents a high risk due to having a lack of protection from electric shock.

The lamp holder used is only rated at 125V, the product maximum voltage rating is 240V and some of the required documentation and markings were not present. The product does not comply with the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
