Finland's Safety and Chemicals Agency, Tukes, has issued a warning for consumers to stop using the Power Plus TNS-30W-120150-2 battery charger immediately. According to Tukes, the charger does not meet safety requirements due to inadequate insulation, which poses a risk of electric shock. This 12V charger is commonly used to recharge car starter batteries and the agency emphasizes the importance of consumer safety in its advisories.

The distributor, Suomen Akut, has acknowledged the issue and is providing more information on how customers can return the product. They have ceased sales of the faulty charger and are implementing measures to ensure that previously sold units can be recalled effectively. This proactive approach from the company indicates their commitment to addressing the safety risks associated with their products and protecting consumers.

Consumers are advised to follow the recommendations of Tukes and return the charger promptly to avoid potential hazards. This incident highlights the need for stringent safety standards in consumer electronics, especially products related to vehicle maintenance, and reinforces the role of regulatory agencies in monitoring and ensuring product safety in Finland.
