Ms Driscoll said the 20 traders found selling the devices had removed them from sale, but her major concern was that potentially deadly products were already in homes and workplaces.

‘All consumers who have bought these products in recent months are urged to check that their device has Australian approval markings, has insulated plug pins and is safe to use.’
