The adaptor pins are too thick and as a result excessive force is required to insert and remove the adaptor from a mains socket. This could cause damage to the socket or adaptor and expose live parts resulting in electric shock and/or fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60950 and the relevant national standard BS 1363.
