Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of fire as the as the plug does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363. As the plug does not make a proper connection with the socket, over extended use, the plug face could start to wear and result in the plug overheating. The product also presents a risk of electric shock as the transformer was of a poor build quality and did not meet the creepage and clearance requirements due to primary and secondary windings being found to be touching. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present. The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 or the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (eBay).
