Hazard
The product presents a high risk of fire as it has been identified that when the switch on the socket is being switched on, switched off, or whilst it is under load, there is a possibility for an arc flash to occur. This could cause the socket and surrounding materials to ignite, causing a fire.
The affected sockets do not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.
Corrective action
The products have been withdrawn from the market.
