Why it's dangerous
Electric shock
Due to the insufficient mechanical strength of the product, live parts are accessible, which could result in electric shock. Moreover, the product has inadequate conductor cross-section and a flawed design that allows the plug to be inserted in a single-pole manner.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standards EN 60598-1 and EN 60598-2-20.
