Why it's dangerous
Electric shock
The product has a design flaw that allows the plug of a Class I appliance to be inserted into the socket of an extension cord intended for Class II appliances. Consequently, users may receive an electric shock if a Class I appliance is connected to this extension cord.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standards EN 60884-1 and EN 60884-2.
