Why it's dangerous
Electric shockFire
The earthing contact is not properly connected to all sockets. Additionally, the cable’s cross-sectional area is too small and cables/conductors are connected by soft soldering that creates a risk of the connections detaching. Consequently, there is a risk of fire and/or electric shock.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the standard EN 60320-1.
