Parts washer
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
This red metal parts washer (model XH-PW20G, pump serial number 100372) poses a risk of electric shock due to several safety defects. The switch housing is not sealed to the pump housing, making it vulnerable to water splashing inside. Additionally, the unit lacks markings for maximum and minimum fill levels, which means overfilling could allow water to enter the switch housing and create a shock hazard, while underfilling could cause the pump to overheat. The instruction manual is also inadequate, and the product fails to comply with the Low Voltage Directive and European standard EN 60335.
Authorities have ordered the product withdrawn from the market. The source does not specify what actions affected consumers should take in response to this recall.
