Summary

Product Safety Report for Seesil Cordless Mini Chainsaw presenting a serious risk of injuries.

The risk

The product presents a serious risk of injuries to the user as chainsaws are required to be fitted with at least two handles to provide safe control. There was no secondary handle fitted, with no obvious provision for one to be attached. The user may use their other free hand to stabilise what they are cutting, and should the chainsaw slip, they could cut or injure themselves.

The 3-pin battery charger plug had distinctive steps between the base and metal on the live and neutral pins, which could potentially cause damage to the socket it is plugged into and present a risk of fire. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.

The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.

Action taken

The import has been rejected at the border.

Advice to consumers
