AliExpress Universal Charger Recalled Over Electric Shock Risk

AliExpress is recalling a Universal Charger sold on its platform to consumers in the Republic of Ireland, after a risk of electric shock was reported to the CCPC. Consumers are advised to stop using the product immediately.

The risk is that the power cord plug is not earthed, which may result in users receiving an electric shock. The recall notice was published on 14 October 2026.

The affected product is a Universal Charger, model JCY-05100, with the AliExpress Product ID 1005006975464963. Approximately 5 affected products were sold on the AliExpress platform to consumers in the Republic of Ireland.

All electrical chargers must be compatible with a standard three-pin wall socket. Products fitted with two-pin plugs are not suitable for sale to consumers in Ireland and should not be purchased.

Consumers should stop using the product immediately and dispose of it sustainably in accordance with local electrical waste (WEEE) guidance. Those affected may wish to contact AliExpress to see if there are any remedies available, which can be done via their user account on the AliExpress platform.
