I love how the warning just asks you to make sure but doesn’t really try to talk you out of it.

This business kind of sucks. If you make good quality products it will work too well so no one would ever recommend it so you get no exposure. If you make shitty quality ones all the ones that survive is going to bitch about it and lawsuits and blah blah blah.

Anyways if anyone has any ideas on how to turn this business around let me know.

The funny part is that it wouldn’t even work.

If the plug was on a GFCI outlet, it would trip once neutral and hot are shorted.

If it wasn’t on a GFCI outlet, it would be an inefficient water heater. Current is inversely proportional to resistance, and the inch of tap water between both conductors has a significantly lower resistance than the human sitting at the other side of the tub. At American voltages of 110V, the worst thing that will probably happen is the wires heat up from the current passing through them. Now, if it only had the live wire exposed and you had a metal tub, that might be a different story…

Fun fact, even if you try to hold a breaker in the ‘on’ position, it would still trip the exact same way. Pretty smart design (to stop pretty dumb people killing themselves or others).

Don’t forget the mandatory fuse included in the UK plug.

Can you demonstrate how that works?

I could, but it wouldn’t do much of anything unless a path through my body had considerably less resistance than the water between the conductors in the duck.

Even without that it wouldn’t kill.

I’m inclined to believe that it’s not just “not respecting the proportions” but rather manufacturers putting a fake logo to create the appearance of safety. From your link:

“The Commission was also aware of fraudulent misuse of the mark on products that did not comply with the standards, but that this is a separate issue.”
