Hazard

The contact terminals can oxidize over time creating an imperfect contact and increase the resistance in the circuit. This will result in a heat release or the creation of an electric arc, both of which can cause fire, and users may receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60884-1.
