Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the product’s plug does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 and no evidence of overall product compliance has been provided. If the user were to grip the plug in order to remove it from the socket without switching the socket off first, due to the placement of the plug’s pins, the user’s fingers may make contact with the live parts and therefore may receive an electric shock. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
