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 Christmas tree lights made in China. The wires inside are too thin.

What's happening? The thin wires can get too hot and start a fire. Dust or water can also damage the lights, exposing live wires that may shock you.

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

What should I do? Stop using them right away. Ask a shop or a repair person for safe lights. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock.
