The endcaps were insecurely fixed and the fuse had not been provided with any granular filler to ensure the safe operation under fault conditions. The lights were marketed as being for outdoor use but had not been marked appropriately, with no protections from the potential ingress of water or moisture. The instructions were deemed inadequate as they did not provide sufficient information to ensure proper installation, use and maintenance. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.

Nail Dust Collector, CJ-XC001 - Safety Notice
Risk
Fire.
Models affected
Model: CJ-XC001
Barcode: X0014M5V37
Amazon identifier: FBA15HLV1FJ7U000003
Details
A pink, square shaped nail dust collector with a silver grill on the top.
The product presents a high risk of fire as the pins on the plug do not meet the requirements of BS1363-1. The positioning of the pins meant that the power supply unit could not fully enter the gauge and the pins exceeded the maximum thickness. The length of the live and neutral pins are too small and the dimensions of the sleeved parts of the pins differed from the metal parts of the pins, resulting in a distinct step between the two. Inadequately sized pins can lead to overheating and arcing which could result in a 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 or the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.
Beha-Amprobe MT204-S With Test Leads - Recall
Risk
Electric shock.
Models affected
Model: MT204-S
Affected serial number range: 4106XXXX – 6211XXXX
Details
The product is a machinery tester supplied with a set of unshrouded test leads that does not require two-hand operation. The leads are used to interconnect the Machinery Tester to an electrical machine for (high voltage) measurement purposes.
EN 61557-14, requires two-hand operation for test equipment when used for high voltage testing as an additional level of protection against electric shock during use. As of 1 July 2018, the shrouded test leads set initially supplied for use with the Machinery Tester, which required two-hand use, was inadvertently replaced with an alternative unshrouded test leads set that did not require two-hand operation. The inclusion of unshrouded test leads resulted in the machinery tester not being compliant with EN 61577-14 and not compliant with the essential health and safety requirements.
