Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the product is powered by the mains 240v via a mains cord. The product requires a water-cooling pump to prevent overheating. The water-cooling pump is 240v and gets its power from a cord which plugs into a male socket on the main unit. This socket is live when the main unit is plugged in. The use of a male socket, rather than female socket, means there are accessible live parts. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

The authority is requiring the recall of the product from end users. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
