Warning! Illegal powerboards still for sale in NZ!

Warning! The powerboard currently for sale on TradeMe is potentially dangerous as it will not have been approved for sale in NZ.

6way Energy Saving Power Board Surge & Overload for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand

Electrical fittings offered for sale in NZ must be authorised first to ensure they are safe and comply with our manufacturing standards. The image on this TradeMe ad clearly shows sockets designed for overseas appliances, not NZ appliances.

Be sure that when you purchase electrical equipment for your home or business that you are buying from a reputable supplier.

Be careful when purchasing off the Internet!
