What is this? This is a small plug that lets you charge phones from a wall socket. It has USB ports and is shaped like candy.

What's happening? The plug may not be safe. The plastic covering the wires is too thin. This could let you get an electric shock or start a fire.

Does this affect me? If you bought this plug in Sweden, it could be unsafe for you.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you need help finding a safe charger.
