Anyone who has bought the item must take notice of the warning.

The notice was shared by the Office for Product Safety and Standards.

A statement said: "The product presents a high risk of electric shock as the transformer was of poor build quality and the plug face did not meet the dimensional requirements of BS 1363.

"This can allow access to live parts when unplugging, or plugging in, the plug from the socket.

"The product also had insufficient creepage and clearance distances, presenting risks of electric shock and fire."

Product recalls and withdrawals are issued when an item is found to be dangerous.

A warning was previously shared for 4pcs Reusable Water Balloons, sold on Amazon.

Shoppers should look out for the barcode: X001SUFIRJ and ASIN: B0CBDT5P6T as the items have a "serious" risk of "injuries and choking".
