What is the hazard with Vacuum Cleaner, YCQ2022S (2608-0173)?

Vacuum Cleaner, YCQ2022S (2608-0173) was announced earlier this year, in the "Electrical appliances and equipment – Household Vacuum Cleaners" category. The product presents a risk of electric shock because excessive resistance may develop within the mains cord due to damage, wear, corrosion, or loose electrical connections. This can lead to deterioration of the insulation and exposure of live parts. A user could come into contact with accessible live conductors and receive an electric shock. The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
