Bakshee Zohar, in coordination with the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry's supervisor of standards, has issued an urgent recall for TREQA brand iPhone chargers. The product in question is the TREQA CH-9025 20W charger, manufactured in China, with barcode 6972047909247. This recall follows safety tests conducted by the Israeli Institute of Standards, which revealed severe safety defects. The charger fails to meet Israeli Standard TI 62368 Part 1, concerning audio/video, information, and communication technology equipment. Three critical flaws were identified: the charger's casing and internal components are not sufficiently resistant to heat and fire, posing a risk of melting, ignition, short circuits, and electric shock. Additionally, structural deficiencies in the charger, including its casing and plug, could lead to electrocution. The product also failed a dielectric strength test, indicating inadequate electrical insulation. The company warns that a non-compliant charger could ignite during normal charging, potentially causing a house fire or user electrocution. Consumers possessing this charger are urged to immediately stop using it and contact Bakshee Zohar via email at bakshioz91@gmail.com or by phone at 04-6596385.
