The company "Bakshi Zohar" has issued an immediate recall for a specific iPhone charger model, the TREQA 20W CH-9025, due to significant safety concerns. The product, imported and marketed by the company and manufactured in China, was found to be non-compliant with Israeli Standard 62368 Part 1, which covers safety requirements for audio, video, information, and communication technology equipment.
Testing conducted on behalf of the Supervisor of Standards revealed that the charger's casing and internal components are not sufficiently resistant to heat and fire. Under normal operation or in case of malfunction, the plastic casing could soften or melt, leading to short circuits, potential ignition, and a risk of electrocution. Furthermore, structural deficiencies in the charger's casing and plug were identified, increasing the risk of electric shock. The product also failed a dielectric strength test, indicating inadequate electrical insulation.
Consumers who possess this charger are strongly urged to discontinue its use immediately. They are invited to contact the vendor from whom the product was purchased for further instructions.
