The European Commission’s Safety Gate system has published a recall notice concerning a USB charger sold under the brand VIDVIE, model name “PD FAST CHARGER,” with type/number of model PLE248. The product was notified by Poland as presenting a serious risk. The recall is based on the finding that the capacitor used in the product does not meet requirements concerning protection from an electrical breakdown. As a result, the user could receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 62368-1. The importer has taken two measures: warning consumers of the risks and withdrawing the product from the market. Both measures entered into force on 15/04/2026.

3. Hazard Information

The hazard identified in the recall notice is electric shock. The specific technical defect is that the capacitor used in the charger does not meet requirements concerning protection from an electrical breakdown. This means that under certain conditions, the internal insulation may fail, allowing hazardous voltage to reach accessible parts of the charger. A user touching the product during such a failure could receive an electric shock. The product also fails to comply with the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) and the harmonised European standard EN 62368-1, which sets safety requirements for audio/video, information, and communication technology equipment.

No incidents or injuries are reported in the recall notice. The risk level is classified by the notifying authority as “Serious risk.”
