Details
This product poses a serious risk of electric shock as the heater element construction may fail during use and can allow the live connection to energise the water due to the ingress through the insulation. If a circuit is made between the energised water and earth (wet ground or metal object in contact with earth) there is a risk of electric shock. There is also no protective earth in the appliance and no earth connection to the heater element component.
