Overview
- The charity identified 15 dangerous travel adaptors across TikTok Shop, Amazon Marketplace, eBay and Wish in a snapshot investigation.
- Two TikTok Shop models were purchased and failed lab tests, while 13 more on other marketplaces were judged unsafe from their listings and images.
- A universal adaptor reported as selling over 50,000 units failed every test, with designs that could expose users to a 240‑volt shock by extending multiple live pins.
- Many products lacked basic protections such as shutters, fuses and surge protection, and some carried misleading safety claims or badges.
- TikTok, Amazon, eBay and Wish removed the flagged listings and said they enforce safety policies, as the charity urges consumers to buy from trusted high‑street retailers.
