Electric shock, Fire
Toaster
Electric toaster
Insect killer
Self-balancing scooter
The creepage distances and insulation clearances between the primary and secondary circuits of the charger are too small. This can lead to the user receiving an electric shock from accessible parts of the product or to a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 61558.
Halogen floodlight
The lamp housing and the connection box can easily break, which may give access to live parts or may generate a short circuit and a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
Battery charger
The insulation between the primary and secondary windings of the transformer is insufficient and there is a high likelihood of flashover occurring. If flashover occurs, there will be mains voltage on the exposed metal parts for charging the batteries. That means people might get an electric shock if they touch the metal parts. Also, if there are batteries in the charger at the time, the batteries might act violently to the high voltage leading to the risk of a fire.
Lighting chain
The product is not protected against moisture but is recommended for outdoor use. Water penetration may cause an electric shock or lead to a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
Aquarium light
The product is inadequately earthed and has no protection against the ingress of water. The cross sectional area of the supply cord and the dimensions of the plug are not correct. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598 and the relevant national standard.
Rechargeable torch
The cover for the LED can be removed by hand while charging, leaving live parts accessible. The cross-sectional area of the core of the wires is insufficient: in case of a short circuit the wires may overheat and can cause a fire. In addition, the flame resistance of the insulating material that holds the pins of the built-in plug in position is insufficient. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant standards EN 60598.
