What is this? This is a power strip made by KOPP. It may give you an electric shock if you touch the metal part of its plug.

What's happening? A mistake in how it was put together means the plug can send electricity through its metal parts. This can hurt you.

Does this affect me? If you live in Germany and own this power strip, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a store or an electrician for help. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you feel a shock.
