Waizhiua Hot Glue Gun for electric shock hazard

Country	United Kingdom
Category	Consumer goods
Published	2024-12-13
Retailer	Amazon
Model identifiers	Batch number: Waizhiua-MS247; Amazon product identifiers: X001YS4687, FBA15JJ3T8XNU000010
Category	Electrical appliances and equipment
Hazard	Electric Shock
Hazard description	The product presents a serious risk of electric shock due to the plug pins being too close to the periphery of the plug. Users can access live parts when plugging in, or unplugging, the plug from the socket. Additionally, the earth pin is sheathed, so it does not contact the earth in the socket properly. The plug is a ‘clover-style’ plug, which provides insufficient protection against the risk of fire as it is inadequately earthed.
Non-compliance	Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994; Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016
Remedy	The import has been rejected at the border.
Recall number	2412-0030
