Consumer Protection has recalled a Woodside-branded adaptor after finding it poses a risk of electric shock and fire.
The recall notice names the product as a power adaptor carrying Woodside branding and identifies the potential for dangerous electrical faults. No numerical data on affected units was provided in the notice.
The regulator issued the recall to remove the product from circulation and to warn owners of the safety hazard. The move means retailers and distributors will be required to follow the regulator’s instructions on withdrawal from sale.
Households and workplaces that purchased or received the adaptor for promotional or practical use are the primary group potentially affected. Owners should locate any adaptors with Woodside branding and check the official recall listing before further use.
As standard practice for consumer product recalls, affected items should be disconnected from mains power and not used until the supplier or regulator confirms a remedy. Remedies usually include refunds, replacements or repairs arranged through the retailer or manufacturer.
The recall places a spotlight on safety standards for branded consumer electrical items and on the responsibilities of companies that supply promotional merchandise. Branding on a product does not change its regulatory obligations.
Consumers seeking more information should consult the official Consumer Protection recall notice for model identification, batch details and the specific instructions for return or disposal. Retailers handling stock will receive separate directions from the regulator.
Regulatory recalls are recorded and enforced to reduce the risk of injury or property damage. Where electrical faults carry a fire or shock hazard, quick removal from use is the immediate public-safety priority.
Woodside’s name is attached to the adaptor through branding on the product. The recall does not by itself quantify any wider impact on the company’s operations or financial position.
People with questions about whether a specific item is affected should use the recall reference in the regulator’s notice when contacting their supplier or the relevant consumer safety authority.
