Whilst there has not yet been any reported instances of electric shock suffered by Irish consumers directly resulting from use of the products, the CCPC says that their availability online presents a risk to Irish customers on the AliExpress platform.
The CCPC said: "If you purchased one of these products, please discontinue use immediately and discard the product."
Its advice also suggests to consumers that they "contact AliExpress to see if there are any remedies available to you" through your AliExpress user account.
