Oh dear, EE. I wrote yesterday about how pleased I was with your customer service. But today I read on The Register an exclusive article that reveals the extent of the EE Power Bar problems.
If you have an EE Power Bar, or know someone who has, I would strongly advise you to read the original article on The Register here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/13/ee_power_bar_wrong_ce_marking/
The original recall included EE Power Bars with the marking "E1-06", but according to The Register there could be many more Power Bars out there which pose a risk of personal injury through explosions or fire.
It may also be of concern to many that the "CE" safety marking isn't correct on other models of the EE Power Bar currently in circulation.
As I have said on several occasions already, would you trust a "borrowed" lithium battery item such as this that has been (mis)handled by several not-so-careful owners?
What I find worrying is that these Power Bars might have not even passed the correct safety checks prior to issue.
It's worrying that the first Power Bar victim, Katy Emslie, was quite severely burnt whilst her EE Power Bar was charging overnight from her laptop.
If you are at all worried about your EE Power Bar, or you know someone who has one, I would recommend that you don't use it and return it to an EE shop.
