The plastic hooks holding the glass shade may break, causing the glass shade to be released. If the glass shade fell on a person, cuts and injuries could result. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
The insulation of the transformer of the power supply is not sufficient and live parts may become accessible, which could cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standards EN 60598 and EN 61347.
The transparent plastic cover can easily be removed, giving access to live parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598 and national standard.
The cross-sectional area of the wires is not sufficient. In case of a short-circuit, the wires may overheat and this could cause a fire. Moreover, the insulation of the plug is made of flammable material. The cover of the battery compartment can be easily removed and the dimensions of the plug are inadequate, which may leave live parts accessible and cause electric shock. In addition, the single insulated, internal connecting wires are easily accessible through the openings of the lamp housing, which may also cause an electric shock.
The cap of the light bulb is too long. The user can consequently touch the live cap when inserting the light bulb in a socket. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60432-1.
The anchorage of the cord is insufficient and the dome shaped plastic cover can easily be removed. Live parts could consequently become accessible. The plug pins are not correctly sized for safe use. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598 and the national standard BS1363.
The anchorage of the cord is insufficient. The cord could detach leaving the live wires accessible. The plug pins are not correctly sized for safe use. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598 and the national standard BS1363.
The cover of the ball light can easily be removed giving access to live parts. The anchorage of the cord is insufficient. The cord could consequently detach leaving the live wires accessible. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
