Hazard

The product presents a high risk of fire because the pins on the supplied charger exceeds the permitted size, meaning the plug does not correctly fit the socket and does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363.

If the user were to force the plug in and out of the socket over time during charging the appliance it poses the risk of damaging the socket. Because the socket is damaged it can cause the inserted plug to overheat and catch fire, meaning the user may be at risk of receiving burns, smoke inhalation and damage to property.

This product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery Regulations 2008, or the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.
