Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of fire as it is inadequately earthed, with no fuse on the input to protect the product from overcurrent faults. Additionally, the transformer did not meet the requirements of creepage and clearance. Under fault conditions, the product may overheat and ignite, causing a fire. The plug pins were also too close to the edge of the plug, which can allow the user to access live parts when plugging in, or unplugging, the plug from the socket, causing the user to receive an electric shock. The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Remedy

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