What is the hazard with Hulker Three-Way Power Socket sold via Amazon (2606-0154)?

Hulker Three-Way Power Socket sold via Amazon (2606-0154) (Hulker) was announced earlier this year, in the "Electrical appliances and equipment - Plugs" category. The product presents a risk of electric shock as it is not designed to be compatible with BS 1363. It is possible to plug in 2-pin plugs into the 3-pin sockets, and also possible to insert plugs upside down. This configuration enables access to the line and neutral shutters, enabling possible access to live parts. If a consumer touches these live parts, they may receive an electric shock. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
