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

What is this? Some light chains from China may have a weak wire. The wire could break and show live parts that can give you an electric shock.

What's happening? These light chains do not meet safety rules. The wire is not strong enough.

Does this affect me? If you have these lights in Latvia, they could be unsafe.

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.
