Hazard

The product presents a high risk of fire because the plug face does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 and cannot make a secure connection with the socket. The fuse link also does not confirm to the requirements of BS 1362 as the diameter of the end caps is below the minimum permitted tolerance. If there is a surge in the current or a fault with the product, the plug may catch fire. Improvements are also required to product labelling and marking. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
