None of the most popular illegal streaming devices meet UK fire safety standards. Illegal streaming devices that enable users to watch movies and box sets on their TVs free of charge pose a potential fire hazard. That’s the warning from Electrical Safety First and intellectual property body FACT, which examined the electrical safety of a number of these devices. “The fact that so many illegal streaming devices have all failed to meet UK safety standards is shocking,” warned Kieron Sharp, director general of FACT. We believe hundreds of thousands of illicit streaming devices were sold between Black Friday and Christmas last year.
