After purchasing a simple table lamp from the new Sainsbury's store at Southport. I returned home, plugged it in and it would not switch on. When I returned to exchange it, I asked for it to be plugged in to confirm it worked. However the customer “care”? assistant told me it was against H&S regs because it hadnt been pat tested. So in effect on those grounds they were selling goods which could be faulty so would need a pat test before use. This seems to me like taking H&S to the extreme. He wouldnt even let me plug it in. Consequently I will avoid Sainsburys again for any electrical goods
