Models affected
The product was not marked with a model or serial number.
Details
Processing machine with micro-computer on the side for weighing and programming. The product was not marked with a model or serial number.
The product presents a high risk of electric shock as the dimensions of the plug do not meet the requirements of the relevant standard. The pins are too close to the edge of the plug, meaning the user could touch the live pins when inserting or removing the plug from the socket, receiving an electric shock. The appliance was also inadequately earthed, with insufficient securing against accidental loosening and an insufficient cross-sectional area of the earth wire, and was supplied with a noncompliant fuse. The product also required improvements to marking, labelling and documentation.
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.
