Details
A white and black electric UV heater lamp that attracts and kills mosquitos.
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as it is inadequately earthed. There is no earth connection and no means of anchoring its cord. Therefore, if a surge in current or a fault with the product were to occur, it could become live and give the user an electric shock on touch.
The instructions were inadequate as they did not contain sufficient information to ensure the correct and safe use of the equipment. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.
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.
