Tukes: Stop using this charger immediately

Tukes warns consumers to immediately stop using a Wozinsky brand USB charger due to an electric shock risk.

The Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency, Tukes, has issued an immediate warning for consumers to cease use of the Wozinsky brand USB charger, citing a significant risk of electric shock. According to Tukes, the insulation of the charger's transformer does not meet safety standards required by Finnish electrical safety law. This non-compliance poses serious risks for users, necessitating urgent action to avoid potential accidents.

Cadmandata Oy, the company that sold the charger, has also called upon consumers to return the product and has reached out to customers known to have purchased it. Tukes has emphasized the importance of removing the device from use immediately and has provided guidance for those who may have purchased similar products with comparable markings from other sources, advising them to contact the seller for safety verification. This situation underscores the critical need for compliance with safety regulations in consumer electronics.

This recall not only poses immediate safety concerns for users of the charger but also highlights the importance of regulatory oversight in ensuring electrical products meet required safety standards. The case serves as a reminder for consumers to remain vigilant and proactive in ensuring the safety of their electronic devices, especially in light of potential hazards that can arise from non-compliant products.
