The product does not provide adequate protection against electric shock because the clearance distance between the primary and secondary circuits is not sufficient.

The earth pin dimensions are too wide and there is no fuse protection. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standards EN 60335 and EN 60950.
