Why it's dangerous
Electric shock
The product lacks sufficient insulation. The controller box lacks a strain relief device. Additionally, the structure of the cord extension socket allows single-pole insertion of plugs, leaving live parts easily accessible to the user, who could receive an electric shock.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60598.
