Hazard

This could lead to the plug overheating and/or exploding. It is also fitted with a counterfeit fuse link which does not conform to the requirements of BS 1362. A compliant, correctly rated fuse is required to ensure the safe operation of the plug under fault conditions. Improvements are also required to product documentation and marking. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.
