Power adaptor and charger fire warnings: what businesses should check

Two new reports, two different actions

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) published two product safety reports on 4 November 2026 concerning a power adaptor and a vehicle battery charger. Both identify a serious fire risk. These are product-specific enforcement notices, not a new general electrical-safety law. For businesses and property managers buying or providing equipment, the useful first step is to compare the exact product identification with purchase and equipment records. A similar-looking box or a shared brand name is not enough to establish a match.

LEDSone CJ-1205: withdrawn from the market

The first report concerns the LEDSone UK Ltd CJ-1205 AC-DC power supply adaptor, described as a 12V 5A unit packaged in a black and green box. OPSS identifies an unsuitable fuse arrangement and plug dimensions, alongside insulation and information defects. LEDSone UK Limited (Electricalsone) has withdrawn the product from the market. The notice describes a withdrawal, not an end-user recall or a published refund programme. If your records identify this model, we recommend taking it out of use safely and asking the supplier for the appropriate next steps. Do not attempt a plug modification as a substitute for resolving the product warning.

GEARLASSO 10006902: import rejected

The second report concerns a GEARLASSO portable 12-to-24V vehicle battery charger, model and SKU 10006902, listed as sold via Amazon. The carton identifiers are X002FPMHKR and FBA15M1ZXN2J2U000003. OPSS reports that excessive resistance in its supply cable can cause overheating; plug and fuse defects were also identified. The stated action is rejection of the import at the border. That does not establish that the rejected consignment reached customers, and it is not an announced consumer recall. If a product you hold appears to match, do not assume it is safe: seek clarification from the seller using the official identifiers.

Make a targeted equipment check

For managed premises in Gillingham, Medway, elsewhere in Kent or South East London, these UK product reports are a prompt to check relevant equipment, not evidence of a local incident or a new local rule. We recommend assigning one person to check model labels, purchasing records and supplier notices where these products may have been bought. Record the location and outcome of any match and make sure another member of staff cannot unknowingly put a withdrawn item back into service. Use the photographs linked from the official reports to support identification; the illustration here is not a photograph of either product.

Keep maintenance and assessment proportionate

HSE explains that portable electrical maintenance depends on the equipment and its use; there is no blanket legal requirement for annual PAT testing. Inspection and testing also have different roles. A previous test label should not be treated as an answer to a later product warning. Government fire-risk-assessment guidance requires responsible persons to review the assessment regularly. If equipment changes or a warning reveals an unmanaged ignition risk, discuss any implications with the appropriate competent person. Our practical recommendations here are for premises in England; do not extend this article into advice on the separate legal frameworks elsewhere in the UK.

Ask the right question before commissioning work

1st Aid Fire can discuss commercial fire risk assessments and clearly scoped advice on existing FRA findings. Product identification, replacement compatibility and electrical repair decisions need the supplier or an appropriately competent electrical professional; an FRA does not certify an adaptor or charger. Use the assessment and contact links below to explain any premises-level fire-safety concern. Prepared with automated editorial assistance from the linked official sources, this article does not claim a personal product inspection or a new certification service.
