Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of fire as the mains plug does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 and may not make a secure connection with the socket. It is also fitted with a suspected counterfeit fuse link which does not conform to the requirements of BS 1362 and lacks any granular filler. The filler is required to ensure the safe operation of the fuse under fault conditions, and its absence could lead to the plug overheating and/or exploding. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
