Default Shaver points and electric toothbrushes

Reading the Screwfix reviews on the MK shaver point it seems that it is
not designed for continuous use and overheats if you leave an electric
toothbrush charging.
This cracks the faceplate.


Do MK actually say that themselves? Sounds very unlikely that the
miniscule current drawn by the toothbrush charger would make any
noticeable difference to the power dissipated in the shaver transformer,
and even more improbable that it would dissipate enough power as heat to
crack a faceplate! Not on a reputable genuine MK unit anyway: substitute
some POS counterfeit item and all bets are off...
