What to do now
The hazard with Vevor Wood Turning Lathe - Model MC1080 is electric shock: it does not meet the safety requirements that keep live parts away from fingers.
- Unplug it now and put it away where nobody will plug it back in.
- Do not open it up or try to repair it yourself.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting your money back

Summary
Product Safety Report for Vevor wood turning lathe model MC1080 (900) presenting a serious risk of electric shock and fire.
The risk
The product presents a serious risk of electric shock and fire as the earth stud was found to be unreliable and no declaration of conformity was supplied. During testing, it was identified that the protective earth connection used a standard cross head screw to hold two crimp terminals connecting the earths together. An earth connection must not use a standard screw that can be undone from outside of the product. The screw could be undone, and the protective earth could be removed. Also, a screw connection cannot hold two earth connections together for the same reason.
Additionally, the product supply voltage requirements are not compatible with the UK power system. Some of the required documentation and markings were not present.
The product does not meet the requirement of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
Action taken
