Israel has announced an urgent recall of a popular 20-watt mobile phone fast charger, model 62-A2C2, due to serious safety violations discovered during inspections. The Ministry of Economy and Industry's Standardization Commissioner, in cooperation with the Standards Institute of Israel, found that the charger poses risks of electric shock and fire. The importer, Target Home, is urging consumers to immediately stop using the device. The charger, manufactured in China with product number HY-62 and barcode 6935469879031, failed to meet Israeli standard SI 62368, part 1, which covers safety requirements for IT and communication equipment. Specific deficiencies include plastic components lacking sufficient fire resistance, which could allow fires to spread if the device overheats. Insulation tests revealed that the plastic casing softens when heated, and internal components were not adequately secured, potentially exposing conductive parts to touch and creating an electric shock hazard. Additionally, the charger's electrical contacts were found to be thicker than permitted and could become stuck in outlets. Forcing the charger out might detach the contacts, leaving live parts exposed within the socket, posing a severe shock risk. Consumers with the affected charger are advised to cease use immediately and can contact the seller at [email protected] or 052-5200040 for further information regarding the recall.
