Mitre 10 Mega store Convicted again for Breaching Safety Rules

Mitre 10 Mega Henderson pleaded guilty to breaching the Electricity Regulations and was convicted in the Waitakere District Court on 30 November 2009 and fined $800 with $650 costs.

This is the second time Magsons Hardware Limited, trading as Mitre 10 Mega Henderson, has been convicted for supplying a declared article (child appealing table lamps) without an appropriate approval and putting consumers at unnecessary risk.

Energy Safety, part of the Ministry of Economic Development, took the prosecution after it found the undeclared, non-approved table lamps while doing a routine check of electrical appliances on Trade Me.  The products were removed from sale.
