The faulty electrical cable, installed throughout Victoria during 2012 and 2013, poses a significant fire and electric shock risk and is still being used in homes and buildings across the state. It is reported that up to 22,000 buildings around Australia could be affected by the recall.
Recalled electrical cables
The 'TPS' and 'Orange Round' Infinity and Olsent branded electrical cables are subject to recall by the ACCC as they don't meet electrical safety standards due to the poor quality insulation which can become brittle prematurely. The fragile plastic coating may present a safety hazard if disturbed and broken resulting in a risk of electrical fire or shock.
