What to do now

The hazard with Nomoy Pet Reptile Heat Lamp is electric shock: it does not meet the safety requirements that keep live parts away from fingers.

  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. Follow the corrective action in the notice: a refund, repair or replacement from the business.
  4. If someone has been hurt or the product has failed, report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service.

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.

Summary

Product Recall for Nomoy Pet Reptile Heat Lamp presenting a serious risk of electric shock.

The risk

The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the dimensions of the plug face were non-compliant which can allow access to live parts when plugging in, or unplugging, the plug from the socket. The fuse was also noncompliant and counterfeit, which can allow the product to become live under fault conditions. The cable can also be worked loose from the clamp by hand, allowing access to the live wire.

The product also required improvements to marking, labelling and documentation.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Action taken

Recall of the product from end users.
