Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of fire because the plug attached to the connector is supplied with a fuse that does not contain a sufficient granular filler. If a fault were to occur and the fuse did not perform its required safety function, the plug would explode from the wall and potentially cause a fire. If the user is near the power source, they may also receive burns. 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.
