Risk
Electric shock
Models affected
Barcode: 921017472535
Details
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. 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.
