Hazard
The product presents a high risk of fire as the endcaps of the product's fuse were insecurely fixed, and the fuse had not been supplied with any granular filler. This meant that, if fault conditions were to occur, the fuse could not protect the product from potentially catching fire and injuring the user. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
Corrective action
The import has been rejected and destroyed at the border.
