Details
Large ultrasonic cleaner with a blue front plate.
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the earthing arrangement on this appliance was considered inadequate. The earth wire was too small and under the test conditions of clause 27.5, the insulation started to burn. The endcaps were insecurely fixed as they had been simply pushed on, trapping the fuse wire alongside the barrel. Additionally, the fuse had not been supplied with any granular filler. The filler is required to ensure the safe operation of the fuse under fault conditions. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
What to do next
If you believe you have an affected product stop using it immediately and contact the retailer for further advice.
Electrical Safety First strongly recommends that anyone who discovers they have an electrical item that has been recalled should stop using it until it has been checked by the manufacturer.
