What to do now

Crystal Chandelier D30cm could give an electric shock. Live parts may be reachable, or the insulation or earthing may not be good enough.

  1. Switch it off at the wall and unplug it. Do not use it again, even briefly.
  2. Do not attempt a home repair or a different plug.
  3. Because the product was found unsafe on an online marketplace, use the platform’s order page to contact the seller.
  4. If you cannot reach the seller, Trading Standards can be told through Citizens Advice.

Why it matters. Mains electricity in the UK is 230 volts, enough to cause serious injury or death. Cheap chargers, adaptors and appliances sold online are among the products most often found with this fault.

If someone has been hurt

Look out for

  • burns where the current entered or left the body
  • tingling, numbness or muscle pain

Get help urgently

  • anyone who has had a mains shock and is confused, has chest pain, an irregular heartbeat or burns — call 999. Do not touch them until the power is off

This is general information based on NHS public guidance, not medical advice. In an emergency call 999. For urgent advice use NHS 111 (NHS 24 on 111 in Scotland) or, in Northern Ireland, your GP or out-of-hours service.

Getting your money back

A product safety report usually means the product was bought online and the marketplace has removed the listing. Ask the seller for a refund through the platform where you bought it; many marketplaces have their own buyer protection.

If you paid by credit card and it cost over £100, Section 75 may apply; otherwise your bank may be able to raise a chargeback.

Summary

Product Safety Report for Crystal Chandelier D30cm presenting a serious risk of electric shock.

The risk

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock due to a number of construction issues relating to the product and power supply. The product was not adequately earthed, which presents a risk under fault conditions and can cause certain parts of the product to become live. The breakdown isolation between the input and output circuits of the installed LED driver also did not meet the insulation requirements, leading to the potential of shortcircuiting. The product also had insufficient creepage and clearance distance between the mains potential input circuits and low voltage output circuits of the installed LED driver, and there was no secondary security fitted to the earth terminal to prevent from accidental loosening. The product also required improvements to labelling, marking and instructions.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

Action taken

The product has been destroyed at the border.

Advice to consumers

The product has been destroyed at the border.
