What is this? This is a USB-C charger made by KAKU. It can plug into the wall and charge devices through a USB port.

What's happening? The charger’s insulation is not strong enough. This means live parts inside could be touched, causing an electric shock.

Does this affect me? If you own or use this charger in Hungary, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the charger right away. Ask a shop or a repair expert for help. Talk to a doctor if you feel a shock.
