Travel adapters recalled as CCPC say they pose electric shock risk

Please take care.

Holidaymakers are being urged to be cautious when using travel adapters as some sold in Ireland have been deemed unsafe. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) have issued a recall of three travel adapters after extensive tests. They found that the G&BL multi-travel adapter, sold in Harvey Norman, the Welly Enjoy IT universal travel adapter, sold on Amazon, and the Homesafe Universal USB travel adapter, sold by various retailers pose a risk of electric shock. The CCPC said that these adapters are for short-term use only and should not be used as a replacement for a home socket. There were approximately 1,222 of the G&BL adapters sold in the Republic of Ireland with the type/number of model Art. 6769. The bar code is 8011884067692 but the batch number is unknown. If you have this adapter, please discard it and contact orders@jmdproducts.com or phone (01) 205 0500 to see what remedies are available.
