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

What is this? A Christmas light string made in China. The plug’s small pin is meant for low, safe power. But it can also fit into a normal wall socket that has high, dangerous power.

What's happening? The plug can let high voltage reach the lights. This may cause electric shocks to anyone who touches the string or the plug.

Does this affect me? If you bought this light string in France, it could be unsafe to use.

What should I do? Stop using the lights right away. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock. Return the lights to the store for a refund.
