Hazard

The plug pins do not connect securely when in use. This could cause the product to overheat and cause a fire. Moreover, the user can receive an electric shock when inserting or removing the plug from the socket as there is inadequate protection against the live parts. This product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
