Why it's dangerous
Electric shock
The product lacks adequate insulation between the primary and secondary circuits. The secondary USB ports and the connected cable can become live under mains voltage. Furthermore, due to the dimensionally deficient plug layout, users can touch live metallic elements during insertion into a socket. Consequently, the user may receive an electric shock.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60335-1.
