Hazard

The product presents a high risk of electric shock as it is only fitted with basic insulation to prevent wires touching accessible live parts. Over time, with use, the basic insulation on the product could fail, meaning the live wires can now touch the accessible metal parts making them live. If the user does not realise the accessible parts are now live, they may touch the appliance and receive an electric shock. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
