What is the danger

Additionally, the cord extension socket allows single-pole insertion of plugs and the plug dimensions do not meet the required specifications. The user could touch accessible live parts, which can lead to an electric shock. Furthermore, the product is not protected against moisture, despite being recommended for outdoor use. Consequently, water could penetrate the product and cause an electric shock.
