Due to an internal fault the power hub can overheat, burn and melt.
The product does not comply with Australian electrical safety standards.
The power plug adaptor supplied with the affected deep fryers may overheat during use and cause a fire.
The 18m orange extension cord can arc internally if the conductors break resulting in overheating and sparking.
The AC plugs may overheat and become damaged, posing a risk of fire.
Affected Preowned Xbox and Preowned PlayStation consoles may not have completed the required electrical testing before sale.
Due to a manufacturing fault the cross section and current rating of the cable is significantly lower than marked and advertised. This may cause the cable to overload, overheat and catch fire during use.
When the inverter’s bypass switch is turned to bypass position and the inverter is operating in backup mode, the inverter will export power to the grid through the bypass switch. This poses a serious safety hazard in the event of an islanding situation, as it could result in electric shock to consumers, people working on switchboards or individuals working on the power lines.
Tesla has identified certain lithium-ion battery cells from a third-party supplier in a subset of Powerwall 2 systems that may fail and overheat. Tesla has received reports of Powerwall 2 units with the affected battery cells smoking or emitting flames, resulting in minor property damage.
The black USB cable can overheat and catch on fire.
These products have no insulation on the pins and do not comply with required Australian electrical safety standards.
The electric air pump provided with the product does not comply with Australian electrical safety standards. The pump comes with a foreign plug and an adaptor which has not been tested.
The adaptor may overheat and catch fire when used.
The adaptor may overheat and catch fire when used.
The outer casing of the power supply can come apart exposing the user to live parts.
The affected solar panels deteriorate and develop cracks on the back side of the panel, which could lead to live parts being exposed and could potentially make contact with live parts possible.
The 15A to 10A conversion lead does not comply with the relevant Australian/New Zealand electrical safety standard.
The product packaging has been misprinted with an incorrect rating which indicates that more current can be drawn through the product than its actual capacity.
The powerboards do not comply with flammability requirements. A seal to prevent water entering the powerboards is non-compliant. This can affect electrical parts causing the plastic materials to ignite.
Affected products can overheat and fail internally causing a voltage surge.
The power plug may break apart and expose live wires.
The rear terminal cover can be opened without the use of a tool, exposing live parts.
A short circuit can occur in the charger when multiple wand-style GDX wireless educational sensors with damaged electrical contacts are plugged into the charging station. This can cause the charger to overheat and catch fire. Incidents have occurred.
The timer does not comply with the relevant Australian standard as it may not allow appliances connected to it to earth correctly due to insulation material being present on the earth plug pin.
The voltage regulators in affected Kawasaki general purpose engines can malfunction. The affected voltage regulator can catch fire at any time, even if the engine is off or not in use.
The power cable can get damaged or broken exposing users to live parts of the cable.
The inverter has been supplied with an emergency power supply (EPS) plug that can be removed without the use of a tool and expose consumers to live terminals.
This product does not comply with the relevant electrical standard. There is no insulation on the base of the contact pins.
The inverters have been supplied with an AC plug that does not comply with requirements of the relevant electrical safety standard. The AC plug can be removed without the use of a tool and expose consumers to live terminals.
The product supplied is not a double pole GPO. When the power point is turned off, it does not completely isolate the electrical appliance from the power source.
The product does not comply with the mandatory information standard for products containing button/coin batteries . The product does not include the required warning information.
The inverters have been supplied with an emergency power supply (EPS) port plug that can be removed by hand without the use of a tool. If the plug is removed or if it is not connected during the installation process the user has access to live hazardous voltage.
This product does not comply with Australian Standard AS/NZS 3199:2020. The connections in the extension lead may come loose resulting in the plug overheating or catching fire.
Affected batteries may overheat and catch on fire.
The powerpoint does not comply with the relevant electrical safety standards due to unreliable contacts in the powerpoint.
The charger has not been tested to relevant Australian/New Zealand electrical standards: AS/NZS 61558.2.16:2022 - Safety of transformers, reactors, power supply units and combinations thereof , Part 2.16: Particular requirements and tests for switch mode power supply units and transformers for switch mode power supply units for general applications AS/NZS 3112:2017 Amd 1:2021 - Approval and test specification — Plugs and socket-outlets
The product does not comply with the Australian standard AS/NZS 3199:2020 Approval and test specification – Cord extension sets. The connections in the extension lead may come loose resulting in the plug overheating or catching fire.
The product does not comply with the Australian electrical safety standard. The neutral wiring of the socket outlet has been wired incorrectly.
The generators are not fitted with overcurrent protection that acts in all live conductors and all socket outlets do not have individual switching of all live conductors.
The connections on the plug of the extension cord may become loose. This can result in overheating or fire.
The plastic covers on the output connector clamps are not adequately resistant to fire. They may overheat and catch fire.
Connections in the extension lead may be loose. This can result in the cord or socket overheating or catching fire.
The protection circuitry of the product is not compliant with Australian standards. This can cause the output connector of the battery charger to become live.
The protection circuitry of the product is not compliant with Australian standards. This can cause the output connector of the battery charger to become live.
