A battery charger (with the inscription "4V 300mA, AC220V50Hz") is supplied with the product.

Danger:

Electric shock

The product poses a risk of electric shock because:
·         The construction of the mains plug of the battery charger and the plug adapter allows the single-pole insertion of a plug, leaving live parts of the free remaining pin accessible.
·         The separating insulation between the primary and secondary circuit on the printed circuit board could be damaged during normal use, and the metal parts of the socket could become live as a result.
The product does not comply with the Low (LVD) Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.

Action Taken:

Withdrawal from the market ordered by the authorities.

Notifying Country:
