| Product Description | A black cube shaped charging device with multiple USB ports and a magnetic charging circle to the top. |
For UK users this product presents a serious risk of fire as the plug supplied is not fitted with a fuse link, as required by the relevant standard BS 1362. The fuse is required to protect users under fault conditions and without one present, a surge in current or fault with the plug could lead to the plug catching fire.
The plug also did not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 as the pins are too close to the periphery and there was also no rated current shown on the item. 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.
