What is the danger
The heating element is easily accessible from the appliance’s air outlet. Moreover, if the air inlet is partially obstructed, the appliance may overheat, leading the plastic casing to melt and split, producing a flame and drops of burning plastic, giving direct access to live parts. Furthermore, if the heating element breaks, it may come into contact with the metal parts accessible from the outside. Additionally, the wires soldering can easily deteriorate. Users may access live parts and receive an electric shock.
Requirements breached
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
