Hazard

The product poses a risk of burns and electric shock because:- The cross-sectional area of the external and internal wires is less than the minimum requirement, and they could consequently overheat.- The wire ends are not adequately protected against pulling and twisting.- The accessible wires have only basic insulation and are into contact with sharp edges. In case of damaging, the live metal parts become accessible to the user.- The dimensions of the plug are substantially less than required, therefore the user may 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.
