Hazard

Should the user pick up the unit whilst in use they could trap their finger in moving parts and injure themselves. Additionally, the product’s plug face did not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363 because the product had an US style plug face. The instruction manual was missing some of the required information.

Corrective action
