Why it was recalled
The cables fail the required ageing tests of AS/NZS 5000.2:2006. The insulation could become prematurely brittle with age.
Hazard
If the insulation becomes brittle and the cables are disturbed, the insulation could break and expose live conductors, resulting in possible electric shock or fires.
