Electric shock

Models affected

A black hair dryer for pet grooming with an attachable nozzle and power plug.

The poor quality of the earthing can fail and cause the main metal body of the product to become live leading to a high risk of electric shock. Also, on the crimped terminals, not all the strands of the conductors were trapped beneath the clamping means, which could result in overheating. The instructions provided with the product were deemed 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.

Belns Melns Poultry Heat Lamp - Safety Notice

Risk

Electric shock

Models affected

A red and dark grey heat lamp with a black 3-pin power supply plug.

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as it is inadequately earthed. The earth connection has not been made between bare metal and not locked against accidental loosening. Therefore, if a surge in current or a fault with the product were to occur, the earthing would fail, and the product would become live. 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.
