i got photos but what can i sue for ?

claim some compo from the company! tell them your to scared to touch another plug again and its had a serious effect on your day to day life!

 

Im only messing round sounds like you had a lucky escape there, in all seriousness its worth letting trading standards know as it might not be the first time this company has sold sketchy goods and you could save someones life regardless of financial outcome

 

I would say go put the kettle on and relax but with your recent track record with electrics it might be better to convince someone else to!

lol i did try another plug in the socket to check it was still working and it took a couple of attempts to actually push the switch and not just touch it quick lol

[Rupe]

Did your trip switch work?

[jayman]

yea tripped the kitchen sockets

[Rupe]

Well thats fine then, you were no where near getting a minor injury, let alone dieing!!

[jayman]

apart from the nearly heart attack from the bang !

[RobRainford]

bet that made for some serious undergarment redecoration!

 

i had the bright idea once of just cutting a cable to my old freeview box, i couldnt find which plug it was and it was a faff to even follow the cable, so i just got my multitool out with pliers on and cut it, they were all metal, it made a bang and now its welded some copper to the cutting edges, it tripped NOTHING! it made a hell of a bang.

 

I made a resolution to unplug stuff first!
