What to do now

The hazard with LED Spiral Panel Light sold on Amazon is electric shock: it does not meet the safety requirements that keep live parts away from fingers.

  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. This is a safety report rather than a manufacturer recall: the listing has been taken down, but the seller may not contact you. Get in touch with the seller through the marketplace.
  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

Contact the seller through your order history and say that the product is the subject of an OPSS safety report. Keep screenshots of the listing and your order.

If the seller does not respond, the marketplace’s own dispute process or your card provider is the next step.
