Product Name (original English): Laptop computer

Risk Description (original English): The product poses a risk of fire because it may overheat if extreme pressure is applied repeatedly to the left palm rest. This pressure may damage the insulation of a cable that passes underneath this area, potentially resulting in a short circuit that could deform the housing. Additionally, there is a very slight chance of users sustaining minor burns.
