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, battery-powered LED Christmas lights. They plug into the wall but do not have a safety device to stop shocks.

What's happening? The lights can give an electric shock if someone touches the wires. They were made in China.

Does this affect me? If you have these lights in the Czech Republic, you could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using them right away. Ask a shop or a doctor what to do next.
