Professional Hair/Beard Straightener ZF-C1A Sold Via Fruugo Safety Notice
Risk
Electric shock.
Models affected
Model number: ZF-C1A
Fuugo ID: p-73794072-148207932
Details
A black hair straightener with a 2-pin plug and 3-pin black adaptor. Packaged in a black and green cardboard box.

This means that if the product we’re to develop a fault over time, components could overheat and catch 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.
Fluke Test Lead - Model 3PHVL-17XX Recall
Risk
Electric shock.
Details
The product is a 4-conductor test lead accessory that is interconnected to a Fluke power quality analyser used in electrical installation for measurement purposes. The three conductors for phase connections have red 4mm shrouded banana jack terminals whereas the single conductor for the neutral connection has black terminals. The recalled cables are sold separately as 3PHVL-17XX Cable Replacement Kits and are included with the following kits: Fluke-3540 Power Monitors, 173x Series Power Loggers, 174x Series Power Quality Loggers and 177x Series Power Quality Analysers.
The black moulded plastic insulators covering the neutral banana jack terminals of the affected cables are brittle and may crack during the factory assembly process or through stresses expected from normal operation/reasonable use.
During installation/removal of the black N-terminal conductor from an electrical installation the presence of a crack in the insulation may allow direct contact to the conductor or a voltage transient to arc to the user potentially leading to electric shock.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
E-Reader Charger UKA1005G5 Sold Via EBay Recall
Risk
Electric shock.
Models affected
Model number: UKA1005G5
Ebay item number: 393429584915

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock due to it’s poor mechanical strength. When impact tests were performed, the black plastic casing broke open giving users access to the printed circuit board (PCB). This could result in the user touching a live part and receiving an electric shock. The product also failed electric strength tests as when a 2,500 test voltage was applied, a breakdown occurred on the PCB. The creepage distance on both the DC output and the plug pins we’re measured as zero, below the distance required.
The product does not comply with the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

could be removed. Also, a screw connection cannot hold two earth
connections together for the same reason. Additionally, the product supply
voltage requirements are not compatible with the UK power system. Some of
the required documentation and markings were not present.
