Product Name (original English): Lighting chain

Risk Description (original English): Due to the insufficient mechanical strength of the product, live parts are accessible, which could result in electric shock. Moreover, the product has an insufficient conductor cross-sectional area and inadequate design, where the extension socket allows for single-pole insertion of the plug. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standards EN 60598-1 and EN 60598-2-20.
