What happened

The TV Products electric fireplace heater (barcode 8595 94700369) has been recalled due to two safety hazards. First, live electrical parts become directly accessible when consumers replace the light source or remove the rear cover plate, creating a risk of electric shock. The product's Hungarian-language instructions for this replacement process do not adequately warn users about this danger. Second, the appliance lacks appropriate warnings that it should not be covered, which poses a fire risk. The product fails to comply with the Low Voltage Directive and European standard 60335.

The product has been ordered to be withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers. According to the recall record, the source does not specify what affected consumers should do in response to this recall.
