Don't know if this affects anyone but I have just received this warning;

Probably Won't happen until someone gets hurt

What they are saying is; check that any artic cable has a BASEC approval stamped upon it, if it does not then contact the wholesaler.
As usual the emphasis is upon the installer/user.
