Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is a string of 90 LED Christmas lights meant for outdoor use.

What's happening? The wires inside are too thin and not held tightly. The plastic around the wires is weak. Water can get in, even though it is sold for outside.

Does this affect me? If you own or use these lights in Hungary, you could get burned, shocked, or start a fire.

What should I do? Stop using them right away. Ask a shop or a repair person for safe lights. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock.
