The acquired cohort contains 12 official alert references published from 2005-09-30 to 2020-01-17. This page compares 8 selected, distinct product descriptions, including floor lamp, portable lamp, desk lamp. The other 4 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 insulation, 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.

Floor lamp · A11/00002/20
Report published 2020-01-17 · notifying country Poland · reported origin Poland
The insulation between the cables and the external metal housing (which has sharp edges) is inadequate. As a consequence, accessible parts could become live, and the user receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598. [1]

Report published 2016-12-23 · notifying country Hungary · reported origin People's Republic of China
Reported product description
LED light intended for use with a sewing machine. The base of the light is magnetic and can be attached to the sewing machine. Packaging: cardboard box. [5]
Reported risk explanation
null The basic insulated wires are in contact with accessible sharp metal parts. In case of damage to the wires, the live conductors could become accessible. The LED module has accessible live metal parts. The cross-sectional area of the external and internal wires is too small and the wires could overheat. The electrical insulation is inadequate. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60335. [5]

Report published 2014-07-04 · notifying country Hungary · reported origin People's Republic of China
Reported product description
Fluorescent desk lamp with a T4 fluorescent tube. Technical parameters: 220 V - 240 V/50 Hz; 1x20 W G5. Label on product: "DESK LAMP". Packaging: cardboard box. [6]
Reported risk explanation
null The product poses a risk of electric shock as the openings for the cable are not fitted with wire insulating sleeves and wire clamps are not used for the internal wiring, which can come into contact with sharp metal edges. The live contacts of the fluorescent tube sockets can be touched when the tube is changed and the insulation between the live parts and the accessible parts of the product is not sufficient.The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.

Report published 2007-09-21 · notifying country Hungary · reported origin People's Republic of China
Reported product description
The base plate is made of thin painted iron plate, the counter-weight and the switch are placed inside. [7]
Reported risk explanation
The product poses a risk of electric shock and fire because: - the wires are in contact with sharp edges, thus the cable may get damaged, - internal wires are not properly insulated and they can contact with accessible metal parts,- it does not withstand the tilt test and tipped over, which leads to the situation that the supporting surface can overheat. This product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598. [7]

Report published 2006-02-17 · notifying country Hungary · reported origin Unknown
Reported product description
Hanging lamp with TM35L type lighting chain.Brand: Unknown. Type/model: Art. No 13732. [8]
Reported risk explanation
There is a risk of electric shock because: the mains cable was only knotted on the metal frame of the luminaire, the cord anchorage has sharp metal edges (thus the cable may get damaged) and the device does not provide effective protection against pulling and twisting.There is a risk of fire because the insulation material does not have sufficient resistance to flame.

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; 4 cohort records not displayed. Missing fields: {}.
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.
Power-supply insulation boundaries — what evidence do we have?
If your product uses a mains supply or adapter, identify the actual power-supply architecture, insulation boundaries and accessible parts. Ask a qualified specialist which design evidence and investigation would address the reported shock mechanism for this configuration. No medical-device standard or pass/fail limit is selected from this alert.
Useful evidence: Schematics, adapter/component specifications, ratings, insulation/protection design and configuration-specific existing test 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?
