The product poses a risk of electric shock because:- the earth contacts are easily deformed, - the elasticity of the plug recesses permits movement, making for incorrect contact, which in turn causes overheating, and a risk of fire because the temperature exceeds the permitted limit during the heating test. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
