What is this? These are strings of small lights you hang indoors. The wires inside can come loose from the control box and show live wires.

What's happening? The wires may pull away from the controller. This can let you touch dangerous electricity.

Does this affect me? If you have these lights in the Czech Republic, they could shock you.

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