Extension cord - Universal extension lead 250V/16A
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
A Universal extension lead model (ACAR) rated 250V/16A has been recalled due to safety hazards. The 10-meter orange extension cord, designed for indoor and outdoor use, lacks an earth wire and has an inadequate cable cross-section (1 mm²) for its length. The product also lacks integrated protection and uses non-standard couplings. These deficiencies create risks of electric shock and fire, and the product does not meet the Low Voltage Directive or applicable standards. Similar extension leads measuring 20 meters and 30 meters have been subject to the same recall measures.
The distributor has voluntarily withdrawn the product from the market. The source does not specify what affected consumers should do with products they have already purchased.
