37 provincial and municipal consumer associations jointly issued consumer warnings recently: non-national standard sockets are not safe. Consumers should not purchase unsafe universal hole sockets and two-pin sockets when purchasing sockets. The reporter visited the market and learned that at present, there are basically no dangerous sockets in the major supermarkets in Dongguan, but they are still sold in some small hardware stores, and some of them are still in use at home.
Some citizens do not know the danger of non-national standard sockets
Recently, the results of the “Power Socket Safety Use Survey†conducted by 38 consumer rights protection units on websites such as China Consumer Network, Sina Finance and 3G Portal show that 72.69% of respondents do not know that the country has banned production. In the hole socket, 64.7% of the respondents did not know that the two-core socket seriously violated national standards, which may cause electric shock, fire and other accidents. At the same time, local consumer associations issued warnings that non-national standard sockets are not safe, and universal hole sockets have long been eliminated.
According to reports, the universal hole socket or jack can be compatible with two or three poles at the same time. Because the jack is large, the contact area between the socket tab and the electrical plug is too small, which easily causes the contact piece to overheat and cause a fire accident. In addition, in the process of using the two-core socket, once an insulating component inside the electrical appliance is damaged, it is easy to cause an electric shock accident. The new national standard requires the production of a separate combination of two-pole and three-pole jacks (commonly known as the new five-hole socket). The plug has a larger contact area with the socket and tighter contact, which reduces the risk of electric shock.
The reporter interviewed seven citizens randomly. Six people knew that the socket could not buy two cores, but five people did not know the defects of the universal socket. Mr. Li has a socket purchased four years ago. Although the plug is three-core, it has only three jacks. But he still uses it until now. Knowing that this type of socket has long been eliminated, he learned the danger of the universal hole socket and decided to replace it immediately.
Hardware store is still selling universal hole socket
The reporter visited some supermarkets in Dongguan yesterday, and it is difficult to trace the hole of the universal hole. In a large supermarket chain in Xiping, the reporter saw that the sockets on the shelves were all new five-hole sockets, and there were no two cores. Its price is also more expensive than the previous multi-purpose hole, basically no less than 30 yuan, expensive up to 70 yuan.
However, in some small hardware stores, the universal hole socket is still in a more conspicuous position for sale. In a hardware store next to the fourth ring road, the reporter saw several different sizes of universal hole sockets. For example, a universal socket with a price of more than 20 yuan can be inserted into three plugs, all of which are three holes. Its price is cheaper than the new national standard five-hole socket.
The reporter asked the owner about the safety of the owner as a consumer. The store owner responded to the three-hole socket without significant danger. "As long as you use a few plugs at the same time, it's generally fine. If you find that the cable is soft, stop using it."
Relevant departments remind consumers to replace the universal hole socket and two-core socket at home as soon as possible. When purchasing a power outlet, purchase through regular channels, do not choose the brand that has been repeatedly exposed, check the manufacturer and product information on the package of the socket, check the weight, repeatedly press the switch, test the pull force, pull the power cord, etc. Socket quality.
