Hazard	Electric shock
Hazard description	The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as it has a counterfeit fuse and plug. There was no approval markings or licence number, the fuse did not contain a ballast, and the product’s plug does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363. The external build quality was found to be poor as live parts could be accessed by hand, so a consumer may receive an electric shock.
