Urgent recall of Homeline usb fast charging plug due to serious risk of electric shock- 40k sold in Ireland Tags:ireland 10 comments > There is a serious risk of electric shock arising from poor isolation between the Mains Input & USB Output. JESUS FUCKING H CHRIST. Forty thousand? That’s brutal. Would be more helpful if they mentioned where this charger plug is sold. Stop buying cheap Chinese chargers in pound shops and petrol stations. They were sold in centra’s by the tills I think. What a nightmare BigClivedotcom on YouTube does teadowns of electrics, and many have poor isolation between mains and low voltage. Scary stuff. Holy shit I have one of these. Just randomly clicked the link and recognised the packaging. That is some scary shit. Power City stock these absolute cheap c***s Ah here lads that’s shocking Does the product have the CE mark? And if it does how did it get through the tests? **Irish Times article:** [https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2022/12/05/consumer-authority-recalls-40000-chargers-over-electric-shock-fears/](https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2022/12/05/consumer-authority-recalls-40000-chargers-over-electric-shock-fears/) Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
