What is the danger

The product poses a risk of electric shock and fire because: - the lack of cord anchorage protecting against pulling and twisting force, - the connections are not properly fixed and live parts may be accessible, - the insulation of the mains cable is only single insulated and thus flashover may occur, - there is no protection against ingress of moisture, - the cross section area of the core is less than required. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
