Why it was recalled
The wires have been accidentally transposed during manufacture, meaning the pins on the plug may not be wired to the correct aperature on the socket.
Hazard
If the Active and Earth wires are swapped, there is a risk of electric shock if the extension lead is used with a Class 1 (earthed) appliance.
