Details
Blue metal bodied MIG Welder marked with the Brand VEVOR, supplied in a plain cardboard box with picture of product depicted on the front. Supplied with non-compliant PPE safety glasses.
The product presents a serious risk of fire due to the poor construction design. The plug supplied is fitted with a fuse which has been altered and does not provide sufficient protection. As a result, a power surge may occur, causing the plug to explode. Due to the length of the cable the consumer may be near the explosion and may receive burns.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
What to do next
If you believe you have an affected product stop using it immediately and contact the retailer for further advice.
Electrical Safety First strongly recommends that anyone who discovers they have an electrical item that has been recalled should stop using it until it has been checked by the manufacturer.
