What is the danger

The product poses a risk of electric shock because: - the supply cord have only basic insulation, - the conductors of the supply cord have a cross-section area of less than 0.5 mm², - the lighting chains are not marked with the maximum rated wattage, - information contained in the instructions for use inform the user that the lighting chains can be used in both closed and open areas, which is misleading as they are obviously intended for use in closed areas only. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
