Pocket lamp can deliver an electric shock
Published: 7 February 2013
A dangerous battery-powered pocket lamp has been withdrawn from the market and recalled.
Users of the Finbullet brand product, which is supplied with a charger, are liable to get an electric shock because there is insufficient creepage distance between the live primary circuit and the accessible secondary circuit of the charger.
The Chinese-made product is type/model number TA01-0420500, and batch number/barcode 6 438152 098103. It is sold in a transparent package.
The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
