What is the danger
The product poses a risk of fire because: - the imprint of the ball on the plastic cover of the light (which contains live parts, bare conductors and component terminals), heated to the temperature of + 125 C when tested and has a diameter of 6.9 mm (the maximum allowed value is 2 mm); the plastic holder of the plug burns continuously after being removed from the flame and the burning drops of plastic set the silk paper on fire; - the dimensions of traces and spacing measured on the printed circuit inside the light are smaller than required; - the labelling is incorrect/insufficient, including that there is no indication that the product is to be used only in the interior.
