We have received notice from Allen & Overy regarding the travel adapters that the firm handed out at the 2016 Hong Kong Law Fair. Unfortunately there is an unspecified issue with them – please see statement below.

“Recently, it has been brought to our attention that there may be safety concerns relating to the adaptor plug we distributed during the event, when the plug is not properly used in accordance with its instructions for use.

We are in contact with the supplier of the adapters to ensure compliance with relevant safety and technical standards, please note that (as with any electrical device) the instructions for use should always be followed. If in any doubt, the user should consult an electrician."
