Brand: The Range
Product code: 319774
Affected batch codes: 27281, 27783, 28405 & 30005

Details

The product is being recalled due to a safety issue which could result in an electric shock hazard to the user. The internal wiring and lamp holder construction within the sealed units do not meet the required safety standards. In instances where there is incorrect wiring of the lamp holder’s live and neutral connections, the threaded metal casing of the Edison Screw (ES) light bulb would become live. There is possible access to live parts should any thin metal item be inserted into the lamp holder with the bulb fitted or not, and if the vanity light is not switched off at the wall when the lightbulb is unscrewed.
