What is this? These are small decorative lights shaped like a string of lights. They plug into the wall and are meant for indoor and outdoor holiday decorations.
What's happening? The wires inside the lights are not held safely in place. The plastic covering on the wires is too thin. The plug can be put in the wrong way. Water can get inside even though the lights are sold for outdoor use.
Does this affect me? If you own these lights in Hungary, they could give you an electric shock.
What should I do? Stop using the lights right away. Ask a shop or a repair person for help. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock.
