Hazard

The product poses a risk of burns and electric shock because:·        The wire ends are not adequately protected against pulling and twisting.·        Live parts of wires can be touched because of the lack of insulation.·        The accessible wires have only basic insulation and are in contact with sharp edges.·        The electrical insulation is not sufficient.·        The dimensions of the plug are substantially less than required and the user may therefore touch the pin of the plug during connection.The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
