An investigation by consumer safety charity Electrical Safety First revealed that 14 travel adaptors purchased from major platforms like AliExpress, eBay, Amazon Marketplace and TikTok Shop all failed basic safety tests. Giuseppe Capanna, product safety engineer at Electrical Safety First, said: "Shopping for your holiday getaway should be an enjoyable experience, not one that puts you at serious risk. Among the most serious failures were universal travel adaptors that allowed more than one set of plug pins to be exposed and live at the same time. Basic travel adaptors, designed for use in a single region, were also found lacking. This investigation follows a similar one by the charity less than a year ago, which found 15 dangerous travel adaptors across multiple major platforms.
