The plug also had insufficient dimensions with the pins too close to the edge of the plug, and was inadequately earthed as it did not contain a fuse.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016, or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.
