Hazard
The product presents a serious risk of injury because it is not supplied with a stabilizer bar, and the instructions do not indicate that one is required.

Improvements are also required to product labelling and instructions.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
Corrective action
The import has been rejected at the border.
