The ORIGINAL USB charger sold as “TRAVEL CHARGER” (model AR430, barcode 5995858167591; batches 16759 and 39751) is a white and black unit with a plastic housing, an integrated mains plug and four USB‑A ports, packaged in a cardboard box and made in China. It was withdrawn from the market and banned from marketing because it lacks adequate insulation between the primary and secondary circuits, so the USB ports and connected cable can become live under mains voltage, posing an electric shock risk and failing the Low Voltage Directive and EN 60335‑1.
