Consumers are being duped into thinking products are safe for outdoor use, when in reality many of them pose a severe risk. This is concerning, especially given the prevalence of substandard outdoor electrical products in the market.
The investigation revealed that of 26 common outdoor electrical products tested, 96% failed basic safety tests, indicating a widespread issue with the safety standards of these products.

The findings show that extension leads marketed as waterproof simply weren't effective, as they allowed water to seep in, creating a potential hazard for users who might touch them while wet.
