What is this? A small travel charger made by Hoco. It plugs into the wall and charges things through two USB ports.

What's happening? The plastic around the metal parts is too thin. This means you could accidentally touch live wires and get a shock.

Does this affect me? Anyone in Hungary who owns or uses this charger could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a shop or a pharmacist where to return it for a safe replacement.
