Hazard
The product has been recalled as it presents a risk of electric shock due to having a plug that does not meet the requirements of BS 1363-1. When tested, it was found that the thickness of the live and natural pins was 4.16 and 4.21 mm, exceeding the maximum of 4.05 mm. The breadths of the live and neutral pins were 6.56 mm and 6.53 mm, exceeding the limit of 6.48 mm. Also, the dimensions of the sleeved parts of the plug pins differed from the metal parts of the pins. This resulted in a distinct step between the two. This could cause damage to the socket and undue wear and tear to the sleeve. Overall, the inadequate plug pins on this product results in a risk of live wires touching other parts within the plug and potentially causing an electric shock. There is also a possibility that the inadequate plug pins could result in overheating, and consequently also poses a risk of burns.

The product does not comply with The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
