- Recalling firm

- Product
- Socket adaptor with four USB ports (2× USB-A, 2× USB-C). Product sold online, in particular via Amazon (ASIN: B0FSK11FVJ).
- Reason
- The adaptor has an earthed socket, but it uses a two-pin plug and has no protective conductor. This means a class I appliance can be connected without proper earthing. If a fault occurs, the connected appliance could become live, and the user could receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 62368-1
