What to do now

Fecida LED Grow Light Cruiser Series UFO600 could give an electric shock. Live parts may be reachable, or the insulation or earthing may not be good enough.

  1. Unplug it now and put it away where nobody will plug it back in.
  2. Do not open it up or try to repair it yourself.
  3. Because the product was found unsafe on an online marketplace, use the platform’s order page to contact the seller.
  4. Report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service if the seller does not respond.

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 Fecida LED Grow Light Cruiser Series UFO600 presenting a high risk of electric shock.

The risk

The product presents a high risk of electric shock as the creepage and clearance distances are insufficient and the earthing arrangements for the product are poor. Under fault conditions, the product may become live during use, and can give the user an electric shock. Additionally, the plug supplied with the product did not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 because the live and neutral pins were too close to the edge of the plug face. This could result in an electric shock whilst inserting or removing the plug from the socket. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 nor the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Action taken

Destruction of the product at the border.

Advice to consumers

The product has been destroyed at the border.
