Why it's dangerous
Electric shock
Some internal conductors are held in place only by simple welding. These welds could break, causing the conductors to detach, causing the distance between the live parts and the accessible parts of the appliance (such as the handle or the casing) to become insufficient. The user could therefore receive an electric shock.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
