Hazard
The vacuums present a serious risk of electric shock as they were supplied with 3-pin 'clover' style plugs which do not meet the requirements of the relevant standard, BS 1363. Clover-style plugs are unfused, and due to the dimensions of the plug pins, it is possible for users to touch the live pin when plugging in or unplugging the plug from the socket. The instructions supplied were deemed inadequate and there were no warnings marked on the product or packaging.
The vacuums do not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994.
Corrective action
The products have been destroyed.
