Where do you get the idea that a switch is a safety device????


Many manufacturers list the mains switch as a 'critical safety
component' which means it should only be replaced by the manufactureres
part number. Same with safety resistors and fuses - how often does
anyone order exact replacement fuses from the manufacturer of the device!

Many generic mains switches can be found to fit and be utilised, that`s
against the advice of the manufacturer, but it`s up to the engineer who
fits it to make sure that it leaves his workshop in a safe condition.

A repaired plastic part shoudn`t constitute a safety hazard, but
there`s always a chance that someone will bring a case against you in
the event of a subsequent failure involving damage or harm.
