Why it's dangerous
BurnsElectric shockFire
The product's fuse is incorrectly rated and may not operate as intended to prevent overheating, which could lead to explosion, fire, and burns to the user. Moreover, the dimensions of the mains plug are incorrect and the insulation between the input and output circuits is insufficient. The user can therefore receive an electric shock.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
