Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the insulation is insufficient and may break down during normal use. This could lead to the user touching metal parts of the casing while the item is switched on and receiving an electric shock. The plug fuse does not contain a ballast and is considered counterfeit. In the event of a surge in power, the plug may overheat and/or explode. The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 or the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.
