What is the hazard with Marco Paul Electric Hot Water Bottle (2608-0088)?

Marco Paul Electric Hot Water Bottle (2608-0088) (Marco Paul) was announced earlier this year, in the "Electrical appliances and equipment - Personal Warming/Massaging (Powered)" category. The product presents a serious risk of electric shock because the external build quality is poor, and the user may access live parts. The product also has poor quality connections to the microswitch, with crimps not capturing the entire conductor, presenting a risk of fire. 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.

What should you do if you own this product?

The product has been destroyed. Contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below for the exact remedy steps.
