Details
Reptile heat lamp with black power supply cord in dark cardboard packaging with an image of a lizard on the face. All batches are affected.
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock. The dimensions of the plug face were noncompliant which can allow access to live parts when plugging in, or unplugging, the plug from the socket. The fuse was also noncompliant and counterfeit, which can allow the product to become live under fault conditions. The cable can also be worked loose from the clamp by hand, allowing access to the live wire.
The product also required improvements to marking, labelling and documentation.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.
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.
