Further information

The product’s internal circuits are not sufficiently isolated from water, and the internal build quality is poor. The wires can transmit current to the metal heating element thus posing an electrocution risk. Furthermore, there is no protection on the metal heating element when activated, increasing the risk of burns to the user or burning objects due to its high temperature.

The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and with the European standard EN 60335.

Description: Immersion heater with coiled metal heating element and pink plastic top with a white lead and fitted with a 3 pin plug.

Packaging description: The product is sold in a small plastic bag with green lettering, packaged in a cardboard box. The product is sold online, notably on Amazon.
