Hazard

The product presents a high risk of fire as the supply cord was found to have a cross-sectional area below the minimum requirement specified by the relevant standard. The product has a rated current of 8.7A, requiring a conductor cross-sectional area of at least 1.0 mm². However, testing identified a measured cross-sectional area of only 0.472 mm². Undersized conductors may overheat during normal use, which could lead to the product catching fire. Improvements are also required to both the product markings and warnings. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.
