Hazard

A compliant, correctly rated fuse is required to ensure the safe operation of the product under fault conditions. Without a compliant fuse, the product may overheat and ignite, causing a fire. The plug pins also do not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 and cannot make a secure connection to the socket. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994.
