Product Safety Report: SOKANY 4-in-1 Corded Bagless Vacuum Cleaner (2610-0069)
The product presents a high risk of fire as the supply cord was found to have a cross-sectional area below the minimum requirement specified by the relevant standard. The product has a rated current of 8.7A, requiring a conductor cross-sectional area of at least 1.0 mm². However, testing identified a measured cross-sectional area of only 0.472 mm². Undersized conductors may overheat during normal use, which could lead to the product catching fire. Improvements are also required to both the product markings and warnings.
