Hazard

The cable is not properly anchored. The accessible wires have inadequate insulation. The structure of the cord extension socket allows single-pole insertion of plugs. The dimensions of the connection plug and socket do not comply with the specifications. The user could consequently touch accessible live parts, and receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60598.

Measures taken
