Product: N/A
Hazard: The product presents a high risk of fire as the pins on the plug do not meet the requirements of BS1363-1. The positioning of the pins meant that the power supply unit could not fully enter the gauge and the pins exceeded the maximum thickness. The length of the live and neutral pins are too small and the dimensions of the sleeved parts of the pins differed from the metal parts of the pins, resulting in a distinct step between the two. Inadequately sized pins can lead to overheating and arcing which could result in a fire. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
Corrective Action: The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed. The listing has been removed by the online marketplace (Amazon).
