forcibly removed by the user without depressing the NACS latch. If the
adapter does not securely latch and a user attempts to disconnect it from the
charger without releasing the NACS latch and cutting power from the
charging station, there is a heightened risk of an electrical event, which could
increase the risk of injury.

an error in the supplier's processes.
