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

What is this? These are plastic covers that go over wall sockets to keep children safe. They have a spring that should close the holes when a plug is pulled out.

What's happening? Sometimes the spring gets stuck. Then the holes stay open. A child or adult could touch the metal parts and get a shock.

Does this affect me? If you have these covers in your home in Hungary, they might not work right.

What should I do? Stop using them right away. Ask a store or electrician for safe socket covers. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor if anyone gets hurt.
