Hazard

The product's enclosure has no heat protection and can therefore overheat and melt, hence live parts will become accessible. Furthermore, the protective earthing connection is not adequately secured and the earthing resistance is not adequate, hence accessible parts will become live. A user may touch the product and receive an electric shock, or get burned. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the relevant European standard EN 60335-1.
