931E travel adaptor: shutters that never block the live part
Shutters fail to stop access to live parts — high shock risk. UK recall 25 Jun 2026 (PSD 2601-0268); stop use, seek the distributor.
931E · 2026-06-25
What happened
The Universal Travel Adaptor 931E was recalled in the UK on June 25, 2026 (PSD 2601-0268) — the same day as the Azara SP-128, with the same failure.
Its shutters do not prevent access to live parts — a high risk of electric shock. Owners were told to stop using it immediately and contact the distributor they bought it from for redress.
No brand stands behind the notice; the adaptor's owner is referred back to the shop that sold it.
Why it happened
- Shutters do not prevent access to live parts — high electric shock risk; UK recall Jun 25, 2026, PSD 2601-0268
- A universal adaptor carries the fault into every socket it promises — the one product bought to meet foreign walls
- The notice names no brand and no importer — redress runs through whichever distributor sold it
The lesson
The shutter is a promise that the socket stays closed until the plug says otherwise — a travel adaptor without it carries a live socket across borders, far from any remedy.
