Plasma lamp
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
This plasma lamp features a skull-shaped design with a snake motif and a 10 cm glass globe light source. The product poses an electric shock hazard due to several safety defects: the power cord has an undersized cross-section (less than 0.2mm² instead of the required 0.5mm²), there is no cord anchorage in the switch or lamp body, and the printed circuit board cover is made of flexible material glued in place that can be easily removed. When the glued cover detaches during normal handling, it exposes live electrical parts, creating a serious shock risk. The lamp does not meet European safety standards for low voltage electrical equipment.
Authorities in Hungary ordered this product withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers. The record does not specify what affected consumers should do to return the product or obtain a refund.

The product poses a risk of electric shock because: - the cross-section area of the cord is too small (<0.2mm2 instead of 0.5mm2), - there is no cord anchorage in the switch or in the lap, - the cover of the printed circuit board is made of flexible insulation material and fixed with glue which can easily be removed, - the glued surface can be detached when moving the lamp, thus causing live parts to be accessible. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.

The main part of the lamp is made of porous material painted in black, imitating a skull with a snake around it. The printed circuit board generating high voltage is behind a plastic cover underneath the main part. The light source is a glass globe (diameter: 10 cm). Main parts of the lamp are indicated as follows: mains plug ( "2.5 A 250 V~" + CE ); mains supply cord ("RVVB PVC INSULATED ELECTRIC WIRE 300/500V”); switch inserted into the cable ("CE-1033 3A 250V KY"); printed circuit board without identification marking. Main components of the printed circuit board: coil ("FBT-36" + date of manufacture); capacitor ("225J 400V") semi-conductor ("C2073 15 U TRANSUN"). Technical parameters: 230V~; Class II. (No technical parameters are indicated, operation by 12 V on the packaging is false.) Model: Unknown Notifying country: Hungary
