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.
Refunds, repairs and replacements
Contact the retailer or the brand using the details in the official notice. Keep your receipt, order confirmation or bank statement if you have one, but a recall remedy should not depend on it.
If you paid by credit card and the item cost more than £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act may let you claim from the card provider. For smaller amounts or debit cards, ask your bank about a chargeback.
