Details
The product is a portable air conditioning unit.
Faulty wiring has been identified in a small number of units that result in fire during operation. Affected units have compressor power cords that are too short which can make contact with internal pipework within the unit. This can damage the power cord insulation which can lead to arcing and fire.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
What to do next
