Models affected
Brand: LDNIO
Model: SC10610
Barcode: 6933138691199

As the power strip accepts BS1363 plugs, it is required to have a rated current of 13A, however, was found to only have 10A. Excessive loads can lead to overheating and fire. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
