Israel's Ministry of Economy has announced an immediate recall for the TREQA brand 20W iPhone charger, model CH-9025, due to safety concerns. The Standards Institution of Israel found that the product does not meet the required Israeli standard. Consumers possessing this charger are urged to stop using it immediately and contact the dealer, Bakshi Zohar, for a refund or replacement. The recall specifically cites issues with the charger's casing and internal components, which are not sufficiently resistant to heat and fire. Under normal operation or in case of malfunction, the plastic could soften or melt, potentially leading to short circuits, ignition, and electrocution hazards. The product also failed a dielectric strength test, indicating inadequate electrical insulation, posing a risk of electric shock due to defects in the charger's structure, including the casing and plug. The charger, with barcode 6972047909247, was manufactured in China.
