The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has alerted the public across Ireland<\/a> to a safety issue that has been identified with the fuse within certain power plugs in a selected batch of NordMende Televisions and\u00a0various Toshiba, Technika and Walker Televisions.<\/p>\n

The product presents a fire risk because the fuse inside the supplied UK power plug may not operate correctly. If an electrical fault occurs, the fuse may fail to disconnect the power supply, allowing electricity to continue flowing into the TV, which could lead to overheating or fire.<\/p>\n
