The pins of the plug adapter are too small. The UK earth pin makes it hard to insert the plug adapter in Swedish socket outlets. The plug adapter can become partly disconnected due to external influence. These defects can all result in a bad connection and heat production. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant national standard.
