The Ministry of Economy announced a recall of a fast mobile charger, model 62-A2C2. The charger was sold by the company Target Home Household Items, which announced it would be removed from the market.
A test by the Standards Institution found that the charger does not meet the requirements of the Israeli standard. Among the defects: insulation failures, plastic parts that are not fire-resistant, and electrical prongs thicker than permitted.
The ministry calls on the public to stop using the charger immediately, due to the risk of electric shock and fire.
