Recall for a product found in almost every Israeli home: "Stop using immediately"

The Ministry of Economy and Industry published a warning today regarding the 60 LED MULTILED portable emergency lighting product, after an inspection conducted on behalf of the Commissioner for Standardization through Hermon Laboratories Ltd. found that the product does not meet the requirements of the official Israeli standard.

This is a product from the manufacturer Eco, made in China, with the barcode number 7296168206238.

According to the ministry's announcement, the risks identified include electrocution, overheating, and fire. The inspection found that the dimensions of the product's power plug are smaller than required by the official Israeli standard SI 20 part 2.4 (portable luminaires for general purposes, September 2021).

The Ministry of Economy explained that a power plug that does not meet the requirements can cause an unstable connection in the power outlet and a loose contact, which can lead to electrocution, overheating, and even fire.

Following these findings, the public in possession of the product is requested to stop using it immediately. It was further emphasized that the sale of the product in stores is strictly prohibited.

The Commissioner for Standardization emphasized that it is forbidden to manufacture, sell, or import a product that does not meet standardization requirements, in accordance with Section 9(a)(1) of the Standards Law, 1953. The Standardization Administration will continue to carry out regular and proactive inspections, and those who do not meet these requirements are subject to both administrative and criminal sanctions.
