What happened

  1. 01Israel's Ministry of Economy and Industry issued an urgent recall on Monday for the TREQA 20W iPhone charger, model CH-9025.
  2. 02The recalled charger, manufactured in China with barcode 6972047909247, was imported and distributed by Bakshi Zohar.
  3. 03Tests by the Standards Institution of Israel found the product fails to meet official safety standards for electronic equipment.
  4. 04The charger's casing and internal components lack sufficient heat and fire resistance, posing a risk of melting and ignition.
  5. 05Structural flaws in the casing and plug, along with failed insulation tests, create a direct risk of electrocution for users.
  6. 06Consumers are instructed to immediately stop using the charger and contact the importer at 04-6596385 for a refund.

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.
