During battery charging, the battery may explode. If this happens, the user may be hit by parts of the product. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
The electrical insulation, and the creepage distances between the primary and secondary windings, of the power supply unit are not sufficient. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standards EN 60598 and EN 61347.
The cable anchorage does not have sufficient mechanical strength and could break thus exposing the live conductors of the wires. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
The live cap of a light bulb is accessible when it is inserted in the lamp holder. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60238.
The sides of the grill may overheat, the user may touch or hold the grill on the hot surfaces and suffer burns. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60335.
The internal wiring might become damaged where it passes through metal parts that are unprotected against abrasion. The live conductors could consequently come into contact with accessible metal parts. The mains cable is not properly attached and could come out if accidentally pulled, leaving the live ends of the wires accessible to the user. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
The earth wire is not properly held in place. If it detached, the product would not be earthed. Water can enter the casing. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
There is nothing to prevent the screw holding the earth wire in place from loosening. If the earth wire became detached, the product would not be earthed. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
The electrical insulation is not sufficient between the windings of the transformer in the power supply unit. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
The battery charger poses a risk of electric shock because the insulation is not sufficient and the clearance /creepage distances between the primary and secondary windings are not sufficient. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60065.
