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 Christmas lights shaped like pine trees. They plug into the wall.

What's happening? The wires inside the lights are too thin and not well covered. The plug is too small. Water can get in. This can cause shocks, burns, or a fire.

Does this affect me? If you have these lights in Hungary, they may be unsafe.

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