The insulation of the transformer and power supply is inadequate and may fail to protect against creepage currents, leading to a flashover emitting sparks which presents a serious risk of fire. The transformer also poses a risk of electric shock as the creepage and clearance distances are insufficient. The product was also fitted with a 2-pin plug, which is not permitted in the UK.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs and Sockets (Safety) Regulations 1994.
