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 small, plug-in Christmas lights made in China. They can give you an electric shock if the wires or plastic parts are broken.

What's happening? The lights do not have enough safe space between the live wires and the outside parts. This means you could touch a live wire by accident.

Does this affect me? If you have these lights in Lithuania, they could hurt you or someone in your home.

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