Hazard

If the pins wear down the socket could overheat, and the plug could ignite. The instructions are inadequate as they do not contain sufficient information to ensure the correct and safe use of the equipment. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
