Hazard

The cable is too thin and could overheat, leading to a fire or to burns to the user. The accessible wires have inadequate insulation, and the structure of the cord extension socket allows single-pole insertion of plugs. The product is not protected against moisture but is recommended for outdoor use. Water could penetrate the product or the user could touch accessible live parts, which may cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
