Vevor Portable Compressor Safety Notice
Risk
Injuries
Models affected
Barcode: NCG2022010621286
Details
The product presents a serious risk of injuries due to issues with the external
build of the product. Firstly, the non-approved pressure release valve’s vent
faces up, possibly into the operator’s face, causing air or atomized grease to
be thrown into the user’s face. This presents a hazard of injury. Secondly, the
release pipe is directly above the on off switch so if any moisture condensates
it will fall onto the non-approved switch/resettable fuse. If the cover comes
away moisture ingress could cause the hazards of unexpected starting which
may cause serious injuries to the user. The product does not meet the
requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.

Risk
Electric shock, fire.
Models affected
N/A
Details
Stainless steel 350g food grinder.
The product presents a serious risk of fire and electric shock due to inadequate earthing. The earth connection broke after 15 seconds as it was not adequately fastened and needed to be tightened. Upon testing, it was evident that the crimp had not grabbed onto the wire completely and appeared to be an incomplete crimp termination. This could present a hazard of fire as it is a resistive joint which can cause high temperatures.
The plug face was found to fit a BS 1363 plug gauge however the plug was un-approved and therefore considered counterfeit. The fuse also had friction fit end caps and not did contain a ballast, also considered counterfeit which further present a fire/electric shock hazard.
