Why it was recalled
Due to a manufacturing fault, the power supply does not have a required seal around its base and is therefore non-compliant with water igress rating requirements for prescribed swimming pool and spa equipment. Additionally, the power cords and plugs that are supplied with the units have not been certified for use with those units.
Hazard
The power supply unit is protected by an in-line RCD (residual-current device) as part of the power cord. In the worst case scenario, however, there is a risk of electric shock.
