What is the risk?

• null The product poses a risk of burns, electric shock because:- The cross-section area of the external wires is not sufficient and the wires could consequently overheat.- The wire ends soldered to the terminals of the control unit are not adequately protected against pulling and twisting and live metal parts could consequently become accessible.- The accessible wires have only basic insulation and they come into contact with the sharp edges of the flashing switch and control unit.- The dimensions of the plug are substantially less than required and therefore the user may touch the pin of the plug during connection.- The insulation resistance is not sufficient.The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
