Laboratory tests conducted by the Standards Institution of Israel revealed that the product fails to meet official Israeli safety standards for audio, video, and communication equipment. The tests showed that the charger's casing and internal components lack adequate heat and fire resistance, which could cause the plastic to soften or melt during normal use or malfunction, potentially leading to short circuits and fires.
Additionally, the charger failed a dielectric strength test for electrical insulation and was found to have structural defects in its casing and plug. These flaws present a direct risk of electrocution when users plug in or unplug the device. Authorities and the importer are urging consumers to immediately stop using the charger and contact Bakshi Zohar at 04-6596385 for inquiries and a refund.
