Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock due to cabinet production errors. A larger than intended gap between wooden parts of the cabinet can cause some electronic components to be accessible or partially exposed. As a result, a user could come into contact with live parts and receive an electric shock. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
