EU/HUNGARY

CATEGORY: Lighting equipment

PRODUCT: Rechargeable head torch

BRAND: LONGTENG

NAME: Rechargeable Working Headlight Helmets / Led Headlight

TYPE/NUMBER OF MODEL: 1766

Batch number/Barcode: Unknown

DESCRIPTION: Rechargeable head torch with battery charger. Packaging: cardboard box.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: China

ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE

The basic insulated internal wires of the head torch can be damaged by the sharp edges of the cover fixing screws during adjustment of the head torch. The dimensions of the battery charger are not correct and when connecting the plug the user may consequently touch the live parts of the plug or the live connector terminal sockets. The cross-sectional area of the core of the wires is insufficient: in case of a short circuit the wires may overheat. The heat and flame resistance of the insulating material that holds the pins of the built-in plug in position is not sufficient and the product may thus cause a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.

Measures ordered by public authorities: Recall of the product from end users, Withdrawal of the product from the market.

DESCRIPTION: Rechargeable torch with 15 LEDs. The battery can be charged via the built-in plug with telescopic pins. A plug adapter is supplied with the product. Packaging: cardboard box.


ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE

The pins of the built-in plug and plug adapter do not have an insulating collar. The plug adapter allows single-pole insertion of a plug, leaving the remaining free live pin accessible. The cover for the LED can be removed by hand during charging, leaving live parts accessible. The cross-sectional area of the core of the wires is insufficient: in case of a short circuit the wires may overheat and can cause a fire. The heat and flame resistance of the insulating material that hold the pins of the built-in plug in position is insufficient. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant standards EN 60598 and IEC 60884.
