The acquired cohort contains 9 official alert references published from 2005-07-22 to 2025-06-06. This page compares 8 selected, distinct product descriptions, including ceiling lamp, led floodlight, wall lamp. The other 1 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 earthing, accessible edges. 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.

Ceiling lamp · SR/02080/25
Report published 2025-06-06 · notifying country Poland · reported origin People's Republic of China
Reported product description
Ceiling lamp, 5x20W, AC 110-240V, 50-60Hz. Product sold online, in particular via TEMU. [1]
Reported risk explanation
The wire opening on the product has sharp edges and the power supply cable could be damaged giving access to live parts. Moreover, the metal parts of the luminaire are not permanently connected to the earthing terminal, leading to a risk of electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor the European standard EN 60598-1. [1]
Reported measures, verbatim
Type of economic operator to whom the measure(s) were ordered: OtherCategory of measure(s): Import rejected at borderDate of entry into force: 30/04/2025 [1]
The product has no earth connection. The external wires are PVC-insulated. The cables are not properly anchored and are in contact with sharp parts. The protection against water ingress is insufficient. The user could consequently touch live parts and receive an electric shock from accessible live parts.The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.

Report published 2017-01-27 · notifying country Hungary · reported origin Unknown
Reported product description
Grey LED floodlight (fixed luminaire) with motion sensor and free wire ends for mains connection. The product is intended for outdoor use. Technical parameters: "AC85-265V, 50W, 6000-6500K", IP65, Class I. Packaging: cardboard box. [3]
Reported risk explanation
null The internal wires are in contact with sharp metal parts. The insulating tapes used to insulate solder joints can move out. The earth conductor is not connected to accessible live metal parts. The cables are not properly secured against pulling and twisting and the wire ends can be pulled out easily. The external PVC cables do not protect sufficiently against water penetration. As a result of these defects, the user could touch live parts during normal use. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598. [3]

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: 9 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; 1 cohort records not displayed. Missing fields: {'measures': 1}.
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.
Protective-earth and exposed-part configuration — what evidence do we have?
Record the actual protection design, earth connections or pin configuration and accessible conductive parts, if relevant. Compare the precise reported configuration concern with your drawings and assembly controls. An inadequately insulated earth pin does not by itself establish a failed earth connection; a word match cannot determine protection class or test scope.
Useful evidence: Protection/connection and pin drawings, insulation/component ratings, assembly checks and relevant existing electrical evidence.
Accessible edges and points — what evidence do we have?
Compare the particular accessible edge or point, material, geometry and use conditions with the reported cutting mechanism. Ask a specialist to justify the applicable assessment and criteria for your actual product and users.
Useful evidence: Dimensioned edge/point drawings, material and finish specifications, use/accessibility context and relevant existing evaluation.
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.
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?
