Hazard
The product has been recalled as it presents a risk of electric shock due to its poor mechanical strength and inadequate creepage and clearance distances.

Additionally, the minimum creepage and clearance distances between live and neutral on the control printed circuit board (PCB) tracks were 1.1 mm. The minimum requirements are 1.5 mm clearance and 2.5 mm creepage. The interconnection plug does not meet dimensional requirements and the UK mains plug adaptor does not meet BS EN 1363 polarity requirements. The product did not contain a marking label and no user instructions were provided. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
