United KingdomThe Fan Heater BG-EH10, a small desk fan heater with a wall plug attached (model BG-EH10; identifiers RVG1033-250804-0002023, PL048309-23; country of origin China), is subject to a safety warning. It presents a high risk of fire because the plug pins are too narrow and do not meet BS1363, and the plug fuse (fuse link length and end cap diameter) does not meet BS1362, which could cause the plug to overheat and/or explode; product marking and labelling also need improvement. The import was rejected at the border and destroyed.
