Israeli authorities have issued an urgent warning for a specific iPhone charger model due to significant safety concerns. The Supervisor of Standards at the Ministry of Economy and Industry announced a recall for the TREQA brand 20W charger, model CH-9025, manufactured in China and bearing barcode 6972047909247. Importer and distributor "Bakshi Zohar" is urging consumers to immediately return the product and cease its use.
Testing conducted by the Standards Institution of Israel revealed that the charger fails to meet Israeli safety standards for electrical equipment. Laboratory findings indicate that both the charger's casing and internal components are not sufficiently resistant to heat and fire. The Ministry warns that during normal use or in case of malfunction, the plastic could soften or melt, potentially causing a short circuit, ignition, and fire.
Further deficiencies were found in the charger's construction and plug, posing an electrocution risk during insertion or removal from an electrical socket. The device also failed a test for electrical insulation strength, which is designed to prevent dangerous current from reaching the user.
