Product Safety Report: 2200W Vertical Steam Iron sold via eBay (2610-0199)
The product presents a high risk of fire because the plug has no fuse and does not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363. A compliant fuse is required to ensure the safe operation of the product under fault conditions, and its absence could lead to the plug overheating and/or exploding. The pins were also smaller than the minimum dimensions required by the standard. The product’s warnings and markings also require improvement.
