Hazard
The insulation of the transformer and power supply is inadequate and may fail to protect against creepage currents, leading to a flashover emitting sparks and a subsequent fire.
The transformer also poses a risk of electric shock as the creepage and clearance distances are too short.
The product’s plug is poorly built, with insufficient distance between the plug and the edge, and the plug is not fused. The user may touch the live pins while inserting the plug into, or removing the plug from, the socket while not electrically isolated leading to an electric shock.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.
Corrective action
