Why it's dangerous
Electric shock
Due to the plug's dimensions, it is possible for the user to insert a Schuko plug into a Class II outlet. Moreover, the plug pins can be touched while they are live. The user could therefore touch accessible, live parts and receive an electric shock.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
