Hazard

The live pin holes of the sockets are not equipped with shutters. Live parts may become accessible, hence a user may receive an electric shock. Moreover, the cross-sectional area of the external wire is too thin and it can overheat, leading to burns or fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the standards IEC 60884-2-7 and IEC 60884-1.
