When the chair is used with dynamic seat backrest adjustment, the backrest can break as the user leans back, which can lead to a fall and injuries.

The power supply box is fragile and unsealed, so a person could touch live parts such as the exposed printed circuit board and get an electric shock.

The battery has no cell temperature monitoring device, so during charging it can overheat, explode and catch fire, which could spread to nearby materials and cause severe burn injuries to the user.

The lamp has poor insulation, so a user can get an electric shock from easily reached live parts or if the unsealed fixture falls into the aquarium water.

The adaptor lacks enough insulation, so users can touch live parts and get an electric shock, and it does not meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.

The gate of the carabiner can malfunction and may not close automatically, which risks unintended detachment during use and a fall from height, and it does not comply with the PPE Regulation.

The insulation between the transformer's primary and secondary windings is inadequate, so a user can touch live parts and get an electric shock, and the charger does not meet the Low Voltage Directive or European standards.

Small parts on the plush hare toy (key ring with carabiner, nose, pearl halves) can easily come off, and a small child may put them in the mouth and choke.

The sleeving of the fan's power supply cable may become damaged during use, which could expose live parts and cause an electric shock, or make the product overheat and melt, creating a risk of fire.

The sheep-shaped soft toy has small parts, such as the necklace and eyes, that can easily come off, and small children may put them in the mouth and choke.

Cracks in the fuel line could let fuel leak above the exhaust after-treatment systems, and if it touches hot components it could ignite and cause a vehicle fire.

The rear brake line may rub against the body control module and leak, which could reduce rear-wheel braking and raise the risk of an accident and injury.

The gaps between the primary and secondary circuits and the insulation are inadequate, so a user could touch live parts and get an electric shock.

The toy has small parts such as a pendant, fox head masks, chains, beads, key rings and a carabiner that may easily come off, and a small child could put them in the mouth and choke.

The LED light in this green and yellow plastic toy flashlight is too powerful, and looking straight at the beam could damage sight.

The conductors of the lighting chain lack enough insulation and it is not protected against moisture, so live parts may be easy to reach and could cause an electric shock or a fire.

Metal parts such as the brush are not insulated well enough and the supply cable may touch hot metal parts, risking electric shock, and plastic parts like the handle may overheat and cause a fire.

Inside the adaptor, some electrical parts are too close together, a safety capacitor is missing, and the cable has a different number of pins at each end, which may cause overheating or an electric shock.

The projector's built-in battery may overheat, which could lead to a fire, and the product does not meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.

The fireworks may burst or release burning material outside the safety distance, shoot in the wrong direction, explode, or fail to go out within 120 seconds, which could cause burns, eye injuries and fires.

The Teflon mattress protector has too much of the PFHxA-related compounds (up to >100 mg/kg), which are highly persistent, hard to remove from the environment, and can build up over time.

The red and black electric water circulating pump has an incorrect mains electrical coupling that poses a risk of electric shock, and it does not meet the Low Voltage Directive or European standards EN 60335-1 and EN 60335-2.

The plastic in these black and red fingerless sports gloves has too much DEHP, which may damage the reproductive system, and too many PAHs, which may cause cancer.

The safety shoes, made in November 2023, do not give the expected protection because they do not resist sliding enough, so users may slip and get injured.

The long waterproof gloves, advertised as protecting against acids, alkalis, oil and solvents, have not passed the required tests, so users near danger could touch harmful substances and biological agents.

The glue contains cyanoacrylates that can bond skin and eyes in seconds, but it lacks the required warnings and hazard labels and child-resistant fastening, so users are not properly informed of the dangers.

The circuit breaker is not sensitive enough, can get stuck open, and its polyethylene plate can melt, so a user could touch live parts and get an electric shock.

The plug face does not meet size requirements and the adapter is poorly built with wires soldered directly to the circuit board, so users could touch live parts and get an electric shock.

The hair dryer is poorly built and its live parts can be touched, so users may get an electric shock, and it does not meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.

The solders in this yellow emergency tool contain too much lead, up to 81 % by weight, which poses a risk to the environment and breaks the RoHS 2 Directive rules.

The solders in this grey pocket scale have too much lead, measured at up to 31 % by weight, which poses a risk to the environment and breaks the RoHS 2 Directive rules.

The solders in this black portable optical drive have too much lead, measured at up to 72 % by weight, which poses a risk to the environment and breaks the RoHS 2 Directive rules.

The solders in this black starry projector contain too much lead, measured at up to 48 % by weight, which poses a risk to the environment and breaks the RoHS 2 Directive rules.

The pink boat-shaped inflatable swim seat with a built-in water gun has leg openings and play elements, and the notice says there is a risk of drowning if children play with it unsupervised.

The strength and effectiveness of the helmet are inadequate, so in an impact users may suffer head injuries, and it does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation.

The strength and effectiveness of the helmet are inadequate, so users may suffer head injuries if there is an impact, and it does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation.

The gaps between the primary and secondary circuits are too small, so a user could touch accessible live parts and get an electric shock, and the product does not meet Low Voltage Directive requirements.

Because of a manufacturing fault, the glass jug, advertised as a hand painted water jug, may break easily and lead to cuts, and it does not meet the General Product Safety Regulation.

The filter lets through too little light, so the view may look completely dark, and users may lift or remove the glasses to find the sun, which risks damage to sight.

The crank of this scissor jack with a maximum load of 2000 kg may break while lifting a load, which could cause injuries, and it does not meet the Machinery Directive or European standard EN 1494.
