What is the hazard with Mosquito Killer Lamp (2608-0182)?

Mosquito Killer Lamp (2608-0182) was announced earlier this year, in the "Electrical appliances and equipment – Insect/Pest Control – Barriers/Traps" category. The product presents a risk of electric shock because the protective grille can be removed during routine maintenance, allowing access to high-voltage parts. These parts remain energised, or may retain a hazardous charge, after the grille has been removed. If a user comes into contact with the exposed components, they could 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.
