Product
Glue gun
Brand
Waizhiua
Batch
MS247
Description
A small plastic hot glue gun with a wall plug attached. Product sold online, in particular via Amazon (ASIN: X001YS4687).
Risk
The plug pins are too close to the periphery of the plug. Users can receive an electric shock from accessible live parts when plugging or unplugging the plug from the socket. Moreover, the earth pin is sheathed, so it does not contact the earth in the socket properly. The plug is a ‘clover-style’ plug, which provides insufficient protection against the risk of fire as it is inadequately earthed. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
