Risk

Electric shock.

Velux New Generation Glass Rooflights Recall

Velux New Generation Glass Rooflights Recall

Risk

Electric shock.

Models affected

Model: CVU 090090 02 2SUDA
Only products with the combination of the product name CVU and where the 7th and 8th digits of the product code are ‘02’ are affected by this issue. The product range was launched in July 2021 and all window sizes can be impacted. The solar-powered version of the flat roof window is not impacted, and neither are older Velux flat roof windows.

Details

Mains-powered, remote-controlled flat roof window.

The product presents a high risk of electric shock as under particular circumstances, the design of the product can allow condensation to accumulate in the part of the window where the transformer and actuator are mounted. This can cause metal parts of the flat roof window, such as the chain, reset button and rain sensor, to become live. A person may touch part of the product at a high voltage and receive an electric shock or be electrocuted.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

Neatcell Mole Remover Laser Pen Sold Via Amazon Safety Notice

Star Shaped LED Lighting Chain Sold Via EBay Recall

Risk

Burns.

Models affected

ASIN: B09MB6MDN6
FBA15G9H7C82U000006

Details

Mole removal laser with charger and plug.

The product presents a serious risk of burns as the pen’s power ranged from 0.4W to 1.2W, meaning the laser’s output is similar to medical-grade lasers in Class 3B and Class 4. Due to this power output, it would mean the user could burn their skin on use or cause potential damage to sight when looking at the laser without eye protection.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

High-Power Multi-Function Jump Starter With AC Adapter Model OUSM-150100 Recall

High-Power Multi-Function Jump Starter With AC Adapter Model OUSM-150100 Recall

Risk

Electric shock.

Models affected

Brand: High-Power
AC Adapter model: OUSM-150100
SKU: G1122-CR6198UK

Details

Wall plug-charging car jump starter with USB inputs on side for charging other devices.

The product has been recalled as it presents a risk of electric shock due to having a plug that does not meet the requirements of BS1363-1. When tested, it was found that the thickness of the live and natural pins was 4.16 & 4.21 mm, exceeding the maximum of 4.05mm. The breadths of the live and neutral pins were 6.56m & 6.53m, exceeding the limit of 6.48mm. Also, the dimensions of the sleeved parts of the plug pins differed from the metal parts of the pins. This resulted in a distinct step between the two. This could cause damage to the socket and undue wear and tear to the sleeve. Overall, the inadequate plug pins on this product results in a risk of live wires touching other parts within the plug and potentially causing an electric shock. There is also a possibility that the inadequate plug pins could result in overheating, and consequently also poses a risk of burns.

The product does not comply with The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
