Why it's dangerous
The device’s internal electric wires are not sufficiently protected. The double-layer insulation is missing. Moreover, the space between the live wires and the accessible parts (such as the casing or the buttons) is too small. Additionally, some of the wires are held in place only by welding. These wires may become detached due to wear or vibrations, reducing the distance between the live parts and the accessible parts, increasing the risk of electric shock.
