Reported risk evidence comparison

Communication and media equipment: plug interfaces — reported risk evidence

The acquired cohort contains 29 official alert references published from 2005-06-10 to 2026-09-11. This page compares 8 selected, distinct product descriptions, including pager, projector, car monitor screen. The other 21 records still contribute to the cohort counts but are not displayed: descriptions may repeat, lack the display inputs, or fall outside the eight-description display limit. The recorded risks raise separate evidence questions about plug interfaces. Compare the product features and dated findings below before scoping an investigation. These historical observations do not determine your product’s compliance or a market failure rate.

Pager · SR/02415/26

Report published 2026-09-11 · notifying country United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland · reported origin People's Republic of China

Reported product description: Caregiver pager device with an SOS buzzer and a chiming plug. [1]
Reported risk explanation: The plug does not meet dimensional requirements and may therefore fail to make a secure connection with the socket. Over time, this could cause the plug to overheat and ignite, leading to a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive. [1]
Reported measures, verbatim: Type of economic operator to whom the measure(s) were ordered: ImporterCategory of measure(s): Import rejected at borderDate of entry into force: UnknownType of economic operator to whom the measure(s) were ordered: OtherCategory of measure(s): Removal of this product listing by the online marketplaceDate of entry into force: UnknownType of economic operator to whom the measure(s) were ordered: ImporterCategory of measure(s): Destruction of the productDate of entry into force: Unknown [1]

Projector · SR/02336/26

Report published 2026-08-28 · notifying country United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland · reported origin People's Republic of China

Reported product description: White-coloured projector supplied with AC adapter and black remote control. [2]
Reported risk explanation: The plug face does not meet dimensional requirements. This may result in the user receiving an electric shock when removing or inserting the plug from the socket. Additionally, the adaptor has poor internal construction with wires soldered directly to the Printed Circuit Board with no mechanical fixing. The user can touch the accessible live parts and receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive. [2]

Portable radio · A12/0662/15

Report published 2015-05-29 · notifying country Hungary · reported origin People's Republic of China

Reported product description: A portable radio which operates via the mains supply and on batteries. Packaging: a colourful cardboard box. [7]
Reported risk explanation: null Touchable metal parts (telescopic antenna, AUX IN socket) may become live while charging the radio. The dimensions of the socket outlet and the flat plug are not suitable and live parts can be touched as a result. The cross-sectional area of the conductors in the cable is too small. The cable could thus overheat causing a fire.The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60065. [7]
Reported measures, verbatim: Type of economic operator to whom the measure(s) were ordered: OtherCategory of measure(s): Withdrawal of the product from the marketDate of entry into force: UnknownType of economic operator to whom the measure(s) were ordered: OtherCategory of measure(s): Recall of the product from end usersDate of entry into force: 03/01/2015 [7]

Recorded risk labels within this evidence task

Label combinations are source facts within one comparison; they do not create separate guides with identical preparation tasks.

Electric shock: 22 recorded references
Electric shock, Fire: 5 recorded references
Fire: 2 recorded references

Source selection, exclusions and calculation method

Filter the acquired, completely parsed English weekly XML releases. Deduplicate official alert references. Group by product category and the complete set of conditional evidence-question topics supported by actual risk text. Risk-label combinations remain recorded cohort facets and do not create buyer intents. Brand, product name, model, origin, notifying country, measurement-only changes and different wording of the same questions do not create intents. Unrecognized mechanisms stay internal for enrichment. Count report years and notifying countries deterministically. Display at most eight newest descriptions with at least 40 characters after whitespace normalization, nonempty reported measures and distinct casefolded descriptions; break date ties by official identifier. All cohort records count even if their description is shorter or not displayed. This is not a representative sample. Counts concern this acquired corpus only.

One acquired version per official public alert reference. Display at most eight newest distinct product descriptions whose normalized whitespace-collapsed text contains at least 40 characters and has nonempty reported measures; ties sort by official identifier. The complete cohort includes shorter descriptions. This is an explicit display selection, not a representative sample.

8 distinct descriptions displayed; 21 cohort records not displayed. Missing fields: {'measures': 5}.

These are selected, dated enforcement observations in the acquired weekly reports, not a random market sample, market-wide failure rate, proof of current product status, or a determination about your product. Notification country is not a complete sales-market or jurisdiction-coverage field. A quoted legal/standard reference is the report’s statement, not independently verified current law or a mandatory test panel.

Turn the reported failure mechanism into a scoped investigation

Use this checklist to gather your business or product details before speaking with a specialist. The items below explain what to record and suggest useful supporting documents. You can add your own answers in the editable project brief.

Plug, socket and connector interfaces — what evidence do we have?
Identify the exact plug/socket or connector configuration, intended country interface and any adapter supplied. Document the interface dimensions, accessible parts and assembly controls for specialist review against current applicable requirements. Do not assume a reported interface failure applies to every configuration.
Useful evidence: Interface drawings/specifications, destination configurations, adapter BOM and relevant measurements/results.
Reported context: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]
Can we trace the affected component, formula or design revision across our supplied products?
Compare the reported descriptions with your own identifiers and change records. Treat missing or “Unknown” source fields as unresolved; they do not establish that no action was needed.
Useful evidence: Product identifiers, revision history, supplier/batch traceability and market/operator records.
Who would own an evidence review and any resulting corrective-action decision?
Read the reported measures as historical observations. Establish your own operator roles, sector-specific rules, decision owner and communication responsibilities before adopting another case’s response.
Useful evidence: Supply-chain responsibility map, applicable-law review, investigation scope and documented decision/communication workflow.

Work packages and dependencies

Conditional: Product-risk evidence and operator-role review — Compare the recorded product features and failure mechanism with your product. Confirm the applicable product regime, deciding evidence, operator responsibilities and justified next steps. This does not assume that GPSR or a representative appointment applies to every alert category.

Questions for providers

Which specific product features and reported risk mechanism make these cases relevant or irrelevant to our product?
What current legal, standards or scientific sources support your proposed investigation criteria, and what cannot be concluded from these dated alerts?
Which existing evidence can answer the risk question, what additional work is justified, and who owns any resulting corrective-action decision?
