Details

A white and black electric UV heater lamp that attracts and kills mosquitos.

The instructions were inadequate as they did not contain sufficient information to ensure the correct and safe use of the equipment. 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.

Details

The product is a black LED ceiling mounting light. The LED lights are arranged in an overlapping two broken circle design.

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the light fitting’s instructions are not in English as required. This means it is unlikely the light will be installed correctly.

Hanging Light For Outdoor Use, GPL095K - Safety Notice

Risk

Electric shock.

Models affected

Model: GPL095K Code: 9405219090 Amazon Identifiers: X001VZM3NX, FBA15HTP1590U000037.

Details

Black mains powered hanging light fitting connected by a length of cable.

The product presents a high risk of electric shock because the insulation of the supply cord fitted was not suitable for the stated outdoor use. The insulation could therefore wear over prolonged exposure and possibly cause live parts to be accessible. The product was also missing the adequate instructions and safety information meaning there is a high chance the product will not be installed properly or safely. As well as this, the product was missing the required certification and trade markings.

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

Details

A cordless impact wrench with 21v battery and charger.

The product presents a high risk of fire as the impact driver features poor quality soldering with wires soldered directly to component tags with no secondary means of securement in a high vibration environment. This could cause a short circuit or contact with another component, potentially resulting in a fire. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present. The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
