Details
A black table lamp with timer system.
The product presents a serious risk of fire as the fuse was counterfeit and did not contain the required amount of ballast to enable it to function as required under fault conditions. This could cause the plug to explode from the wall and cause a fire.
Additionally, metal parts were separated from live wiring by only basic insulation. If a fault was to occur, the product could become live and give the user an electric shock. The product was found to produce temperatures that could pose danger and some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
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.
