The plug pins can break and remain in the socket outlet, increasing the risk of electric shock if the user tries to remove it. Moreover, due to a plug's fuse defect, the product can overheat and melt, which can provoke a spark that can cause a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
