Hazard
The earth pin on the 3 pin plug is the same length as the live and neutral pins. The earth pin is also “sleeved”. Due to these factors, the device may end up being connected to the mains without being earthed and therefore presents a serious risk of electric shock.
The product does not meet the requirements of The Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994.
Corrective action
Recall of product from end user and the listing has been removed from the online marketplace (Amazon).
