What to do now

Osrchids Light Bulb Adaptor (Bayonet BC B22 to Screw SES E14) 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.

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.
