Why it's dangerous
Inside the device, some electrical parts (such as components or circuits) are not sufficiently distant from each other. Moreover, the device is missing one of the safety capacitors to prevent electricity leakage between hazardous and accessible parts. Additionally, the cable connecting the device to the electrical socket has a different number of pins between the plug (wall side) and the connector (device side). This may cause a poor connection and increase the risk of overheating or an electric shock.
