What happened

The VELFORM sauna belt model T-134-1 has been recalled due to serious electrical and fire hazards. The product poses a risk of electric shock because the cord anchorage is missing, the plug is non-standardized, and the insulation is insufficient, which can cause flashover. Additionally, the mains cable cross-section is too small, causing the appliance to overheat during abnormal operation, creating a fire and burn hazard. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive or the European standard EN 60335.

Authorities in Hungary ordered that this product be withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers. The source does not specify what action affected consumers should take regarding recalled units.
