You might just as well ban all imports of anything by individuals (maybe also all but the largest of wholesalers/traders) - since the average member of the public (or small-scale importers) simply cannot be expected to be able to ascertain whether a particular product is 'dodgy', particularly before they have even seen/handled it.
In context, in the face of reassuring words and alleged "Safty Certificates" (sic) from the supplier, not to mention the high price, I would suspect (hope) that a Court would feel that a member of the public had done all that could be reasonably expected of them to satisfy themselves that the product was not 'dodgy'.

A friend bought a couple of light fittings (just pendants, but all "chrome" finish) a while back and asked me to fit them. They had DI (or insulated & sheathed) clear cable like that and a metal cover that fitted to a metal plate screwed to the ceiling. The instructions were to "wrap the terminal block with several layers of insulation tape to maintain the DI" (or something to that effect).
No, I wasn't happy leaving it at that either

Hmmm. Do I take it that the instructions had nothing to say about what one should do with the CPC of the feed cable?
