Pryor products received and evaluated the device.Visual inspection identified burnt markings and the screw came loose of the duplex causing the duplex to be loose in the aluminum case which contributed to the reported condition.The device was found out of specification in relation to the event.Burnt markings found on the body of the part were a result of sparks between the live and earth polarities.The two polarities sparked because when the screws are missing on the duplex, the inlets would link inside the metal body.As a result when the end-user accidentally plugged into the inlets and the pins of the plug comes in contact with the metal body of the strip, it sparks.This was further investigated by pryor products and measures were put in place to mitigate such events.Actions were taken after this device was manufactured.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.
