Israel's Ministry of Economy and Industry has issued an urgent recall for a specific iPhone charger model due to significant safety concerns. The charger, a 20W TREQA brand model CH-9025, imported and marketed by Bakshi Zohar, was found to fail critical safety tests.
According to the Ministry, the charger, manufactured in China and bearing barcode 6972047909247, does not meet Israeli Standard 62368 Part 1, which covers safety requirements for audio, video, information, and communication technology equipment. Testing conducted by the Ministry's inspectorate through the Standards Institution of Israel revealed that the charger's casing and internal components are not sufficiently resistant to heat and fire.
This deficiency could lead to the plastic softening or melting during normal operation or in case of a malfunction, potentially causing a short circuit and ignition. Furthermore, structural defects in the charger, including its casing and plug, pose an electrocution risk to users. A failure in the dielectric strength test, which assesses electrical insulation resistance, also indicates that the product does not meet the necessary safety standards for electrical devices connected to the power grid.
Consumers who purchased this charger are strongly advised to stop using it immediately and identify it by its brand name, model number, and barcode. The Ministry emphasized that the product presents risks of electrocution and fire.
