Smart meter display fault prompts safety recall


The two types of adaptors were included with in-home energy displays supplied to track the data from households’ smart meters.
Testing has revealed that, in some cases, the outer casing of the power adaptors can come loose, exposing the internal wiring and posing a safety risk.

Customers who have a display unit using one of these adaptors are being asked to switch off the power supply at the wall, unplug the in-home display, and stop using the power adapter straightaway. Free replacements are being sent out to affected customers from September.
The fault with the adaptors does not affect the operation of the smart meter in any way.
Any affected customers are being contacted by E.on but anyone unsure if they are affected can contact the customer support team on 0345 366 5973.
