A popular universal travel adapter, the "EUROPE TRAVEL UNIVERSAL ADAPTOR" model 931L, has been recalled in Israel due to significant safety concerns. The recall was initiated by dealer Yiftach Sasson following tests conducted by the Standards Institution of Israel on behalf of the supervisor of standards. The product, manufactured in China and bearing barcode 6944284452183, was found to not meet Israeli standard requirements.
According to the test findings, the adapter poses a risk of electrocution due to a faulty design that allows direct contact with live electrical parts. It also lacks proper grounding protection for devices that require it. Furthermore, the adapter's mechanical strength is insufficient, potentially leading to its disassembly and the dislodging of pins when removed from an outlet.
Additional risks include the plastic material used, which is not heat-resistant and could melt or ignite during use, creating a fire hazard in the socket. Consumers possessing this adapter are urged to immediately cease using it and contact Yiftach Sasson for further information. The announcement was made in coordination with the Ministry of Economy and Industry's supervisor of standards.
