The product presents a high risk of electric shock. The transformer was of poor build quality because the primary and secondary wings were found to be touching. This poses a hazard of fire, explosion and electric shock. Additionally, the plug face did not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 because the distance from the outside edge to the live pin is too short.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.

The import has been rejected at the border and destroyed.
