Why it's dangerous
BurnsElectric shockFire
The rated current of the plug is lower than the rated current of the socket. Consequently, the device may overheat and cause fire or burns. Moreover, the clearance and creepage distances between plug pin and grounding are inadequate, which may cause electric shock to the user.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60884-2.
