Risk Description

Wires are too thin and the dimensions of the plug are substantially less than required. The cable could overheat, leading to burns or fire. The accessible wires have only basic insulation while the structure of the cord extension socket allows single-pole insertion of plugs and the live part of the free remaining pin is accessible. The user could touch accessible live parts, which may cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
