Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as it's inadequately earthed. The earthing connection did not have the protective earth symbol stamped next to it and the screw could be undone externally, which presents a risk of electric shock. The product also failed the electrical strength test because the mains L connection went straight to the heat press element connector on the control unit. With it unplugged, the operator could touch the L terminal and receive an electric shock.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
Corrective action
