- 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.
- Corrective action
