Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of fire because it is inadequately earthed. The plug is fitted with an ineffective fuse which does not contain a sufficient granular filler to operate as needed. If an electrical fault occurs in the appliance / power supply, the poor-quality fuse will not function as required, potentially causing the product to overheat and ignite. Improvements are also required to marking, labelling and documentation.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.
Corrective action
The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
