Would you be able to spot a fake plug? Some counterfeit plugs look convincing but can seriously increase the risk of fire. Our Trading Standards team have shared some handy tips below 👇
⚠️ Counterfeit plugs pose serious safety issues. ⚠️ Know the signs of a fake: - insulated earth (top) pin - marked with a 'CE' mark (the CE mark does not apply for plugs) - pins of different lengths to normal - difficulty pushing plug into socket @Glosfire
