The clothing poses the risk of injury
OPSS
This is not the only product sold online that has been pulled from sale as Britons were recently warned of plug adaptors.
The products pose a "risk of electric shock" after a "manufacturing defect".
The plug adaptors were sold for two years, between 2021 and 2023, so anyone who bought one during this time should check the details to see if they have been affected.
