Additionally, the fuse did not contain any granular filler, meaning it may not operate when required under fault conditions, presenting a risk of fire.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.
