Machine translation. This page was translated automatically from the English record we hold of the issuing authority’s notice. The English original is shown below and the authority’s own notice is linked above — both take precedence over this translation.

Risk Description (original English): The earthing contact pins may deform during use, leading to an insufficient contact with the earthed conductor. Furthermore, the insulation between the primary and secondary circuits of the USB power supply is insufficient. A user may touch accessible live parts and receive an electric shock.
