An inverter that can give the user an electric shock or even catch fire has been recalled.


The Altium brand product was found not only to have incorrect marking but also insufficient creepage distances and defective earthing, so proving potentially dangerous to end users. It does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the relevant European standard EN 60950.

The Chinese-made inverter, model number 850102, has been recalled and the authorities have ordered its destruction.
