electrical scooter electrical recall

Risk

Electric shock

Models affected

Model Number: ES253 (E-Scooter) and DCSP 546200 (Charger)
Class II Charger: Input: 100-240VAC 50/60Hz; Output: 54.6VDC 2.0A
Class III E-Scooter: 48VDC
Battery ratings: 48VDC 10.4Ah

Details

Black electric scooter with seat and rear basket, supplied with charger and tool kit. The front post is foldable and has a light mounted to it. 12” wheels.

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock because the transformer was of a poor build quality and did not meet the requirements of creepage and clearance. The plug face also did not meet the dimensional requirements of the relevant standard, meaning users can access live pins when plugging in, or unplugging, the plug from the socket. The fuse was also considered counterfeit and did not contain a ballast, preventing it from performing as required under fault conditions. Improvements are required to marking, labelling and documentation.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 or the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Risk

Electric shock

Models affected

Model Number: ES299
350watt motor, 48volts

Details

Electric scooter, 12” wheels with yellow frame supplied in cardboard packaging.

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock because the transformer was of a poor build quality and did not meet the requirements of creepage and clearance. The plug face also did not meet the dimensional requirements of the relevant standard, meaning users can access live pins when plugging in, or unplugging, the plug from the socket. The fuse was also considered counterfeit and did not contain a ballast, preventing it from performing as required under fault conditions. The product was also found to have a speed greater than the maximum permissible level, and functions purely as a twist-and-go without pedalling, as a motorbike.
The product requires improvements to marking, labelling and documentation.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 or the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Mamre Afterglow Mood Light - Safety Notice

ambient lamp safety notice

Risk

Fire

Models affected

Model: CS1920/CS1910

Details

Ambient spherical lamp with power supply cord and plug supplied in white cardboard packaging.

The product presents a high risk of fire as the power supply unit had been fitted with a resistor between the live input and the live terminal of the rectifiers. Under fault conditions, the resistor may not break the circuit. During testing, the product glowed red hot and emitted smoke. The user could leave the USB adaptor switched on and only remove the USB cable from the device, which under fault conditions could cause the resistor to fail and overheat causing a fire. The product also failed the electrical strength test and the pins on the plug did not meet the requirements of the relevant standard, exposing the user to an electric shock hazard. Improvements are required to marking, labelling and documentation.


The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Yamaha PA-10 AC Power Adapter - Recall

product recall yamaha ac power adapter

Risk

Electric shock

Models affected

Models: PA-10

Details

Black AC power adapter.

The product presents a risk of electric shock as the cases of the AC adapter PA-10 may crack. The upper and lower cases were not properly welded due to the supplier’s ageing molds (uneven thickness caused by steel fatigue and friction) resulting in cracks. If the case were to crack while the product is in use, live parts
are accessible and can lead to the user receiving an electric shock.


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