Brand
Unknown
Type / model
Six models of lamp. Codes: CL1, CL2, CL3, CL4, CL5 and CL6.
Description
The animal frame is constructed from coconut shell and wood, with a separate night-light/electrical flex fitting. Light shines from within the coconut shell body of the lamp. The lamps come in six different animal shapes - horse; giraffe; zebra; frog; elephant and tortoise.
Risk
The product poses a risk of electric shock because: - the wiring and plug do not match those listed on the export certificate; - the twisting of the lampholder while replacing a bulb may cause the wiring to twist;- the cable does not meet requirements; - there is no barrier preventing contact with the live terminal. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
