Product description
White connector wall plug intended for use with LED rope lights
Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of fire because the plug attached to the connector is supplied with a fuse that does not contain a sufficient granular filler. If a fault were to occur and the fuse did not perform its required safety function, the plug would explode from the wall and potentially cause a fire. If the user is near the power source, they may also receive burns.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994.
